We birded Sheboygan this afternoon. Had the female Harlequin just south of North point at approx. 3:50. Also had Glaucous gulls (3), G. Black-backed Gull, the White-winged Scoter. NO Barrow's, but there were sure a lot of Goldeneye to pick through. Lighting was awesome. Wind ripped my face off.

An amazing amount of waterfowl, but our bodies could only hold out so long. We did have an adult male black scoter. Tom Wood mentioned he had a female there. He also had a female harlequin north of the petroleum pier. We only looked from the southside. Then when we were on the bridge we saw all the ducks north of the pier. We had an adult Thayer's at south shore. An Iceland on the river by Riptide's. We couldn't bird north point because there was the Polar Bear Club. Went to Virmond. The least amount of goldeneyes I've ever seen there, in the winter. Harrington was slow and had low numbers. The shore line water was getting brownish. I feel this was from all the water coming in under all the water that was going out. This was noticed at Kohler-Andre also. It semed that alot of waterfowl was out in the bluer water, which was very hard to see clearly too. We did have distant long-tailed ducks. From Blue Harbor, we picked up w-w scoter, glaucous and g b-b gulls. We missed on harlequin and Barrow's goldeneye.
