Hi All,
Hoy Audubon Society hosted the first of our annual Warbler walks at 
Colonial Park in Racine County last night. They will be held Wednesday 
evenings through May at 5:30pm. Meet at the parking lot at the end of W. 
High St. (West off of Hwy 38.) We usually walk towards the river where 
we search for beautiful migrating warblers!

Last night we were treated to lots of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS along the 
river, my FOY BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, and a beautiful BLUE-WINGED 
WARBLER was the highlight of the walk! We also had looks at a perched 
BROAD-WINGED HAWK.

Come on down and join us in the following weeks if you're in the area!

Also reported yesterday were 12 WILLETS in the morning by Eric H. at 
North Beach and 8 WILLETS in the afternoon at Myers Park by Rick F. The 
Avocet and Piping Plovers have not been seen since Sunday.

Thanks! Good Migration!
