Hi Bernie,
It would not be too uncommon to see DC Cormorants by Veterans Park. There are a
dozen or so cormorants hanging out on and around Petroleum Pier (under the Hoan
Bridge, just north of the Coast Guard Impoundment) everyday during the summer.
I
see them on my way to work. That probably isn't more than a couple of miles
south of Veterans Park.
Keep watching over there. I work at the Milwaukee Art Museum and find it
worthwhile to regularly check out the shoreline and the Veteran's Park lagoon.
Last year, in April, I was leaving work and found 16 Avocets swimming along
Lake
Michigan near Veterans Park.

Subject: [wisb] Milwaukee cormorants?
I was sitting on my balcony yesterday evening doing a little urban birdwatching
(mostly gulls and swifts).
While I was enjoying my limited view of Lake Michigan I saw a small flock of
8-10 birds fly by above the shore along Veterans Park. I sort of nonchalantly
thought "Oh, Double-crested Cormorants". If I had been near one of the lakes in
my old Indiana stomping grounds there would have been no doubt in my mind that
they were cormorants.
But then I stopped and wondered...how common are cormorants along the Milwaukee
lakefront?
