Late last week on the way home from work, I swung past Pewaukee Lake by passing 
through downtown on the east end of the lake.  

I was surprised to see several American Coots, and while I have never seen 
Cormorants, I assume a flock of big black birds standing more upright must be 
Cormorants.  The Cormorants were several hundred yards away on the island most 
visible from the east end.  THe Coots were on the north end of downtown just 
off the railroad tracks:

I couldn't pass up posting a nice photo of a black capped chickadee sitting in 
the tree in my back yard.  I've also posted a couple photos of a red squirrel 
and bluebell.

Oh yes, I almost forgot.  On Sunday, there were two pair of Wood Ducks in the 
"pond" on Main St. off Hwy 83 in the village of Wales.
