Hi all,
One of my birding stops this morning along the lakefront was Lakeshore
State Park in Milwaukee. Very few winter ducks remain in the lagoon there.
The majority of the few that were there were Red-breasted Mergansers. A
group of 8, 3 males and 5 females were diving and finding food in the area
by the foot bridge. Other birds at Lakeshore State Park were Red-winged
Blackbirds, Common Grackles, and Song Sparrows. The rest of the lakefront
in Milwaukee was quiet with only a few scattered Red-breasted Mergansers,
Bufflehead, Greater Scaup and Common Goldeneye. A stop at Lake Park, it was
almost bird-less, but did have a flock of about 50 way up high of Tundra
Swans heading northwest. It was a beautiful morning with only a light
breeze, light sun, temps in the 40âs.
A few images of the Red-breasted Mergansers from today at this link if you
care to view them:
