This afternoon I birded my way up the east shore of the bay of Green
Bay from UW-Green Bay to Bay Shore County Park. The highlight was
finding a juvenile Red-throated Loon off Bay Shore Co. Pk. I first saw
the bird around 3:00 pm but it was actively diving and I didn't get a
good look at it for at least 20 min after originally seeing it.
Several Horned Grebes kept me entertained while the Red-throated was
diving. Three of the grebes came right up to the jetty. There was also
a distant Common Loon in the area but I only saw it a couple of times.
The Red-throated was present at least until 4:00 pm. At that point a
boat returning to the dock scattered many of the waterfowl but I don't
know if the Red-throated left or not.
Bay Shore County Park is north of Green Bay off of US 57. Turn north
(left if coming from Green Bay) on Bayshore Rd. about a mile northeast
of the intersection of US 57 and CTH T. The Red-throated was northwest
of the jetty/boat launch. There were quite few other birds on the bay
including over 30 distant swans along the shore to the east of the
boat launch.
Cheers,
