Hi all,
One of my birding stops this morning was Lakeshore State Park in Milwaukee.
As I was scoping out a group of about 75 Ring-billed Gulls picking thorough
a grassy area for things to eat, I spotted 2 sandpipers. Getting a closer
look at them, they were Pectoral Sandpipers. They were feeding right along
with the Ring-billed Gulls. It was a nice little surprise this morning
considering what has been being seen there. The other species to note were,
juvenile Green Heron, a juvenile Red-winged Blackbird and ~25
Double-crested Cormorants. A cooler morning with little sun early turning
cloudy. Winds were calm to start but were picking up quickly.
