Tom Wood found one over the weekend at Harrington Beach State Park in Ozaukee Co. It was seen a brushy area-out of habitat per Tom in his report to the WSO Hotline. When the Milwaukee Coast Guard Impoundment and Harbor Island were good, this species usually showed up around September 12th with a peak around the 25th. A few birds remained into early October. Our traditional haunts are no longer productive for this bird and Nine Springs has been the best location in recent years. I would think with a slightly later migration this year then this week would still be a good time to check Nine Springs.
