Yesterday morning I was out at Park Point (Duluth), and had an impressive
movement of shorebirds move through, including a flock of 21 Marbled
Godwit. I'm forwarding this email to the Wisconsin listserv to let you know
to keep an eye out for this group of birds as they meander south of Lake
Superior. Below is the copied email that I posted on MNBirds and the MOU.
I've been keeping up with the WI posts. Hope all is well fellow
Wisconsinites!
This morning I birded along Park Point at the end of the road near the
"Dune Bridge" area. It was a rainy, gloomy morning to be out, but
shorebird-watching was great! The highlight of the morning was observing
and photographing a flock of 21 MARBLED GODWIT! It was really exciting to
see so many of them at one time. There were several other sweet shorebird
species making their way south too, both in small groups flying by, and on
the beach.
My eBird list from this morning is below:
