Hi all,
The second Sailbirding trip was made from the Milwaukee Community in
Milwaukee this afternoon. It was an exciting time for all! Bird counts in
the study area were: 1 Ruddy Turnstone being the highlight, 1 Sanderling,
30 Double-crested Cormorants, 40 Ring-billed Gulls, 25 Herring Gulls, 2
Mallards and 2 Sparrow spp. Out of the study area a Peregrine Falcon and
30 American Coots were located near the breakwall. Some nice algae was
present along the breakwall too. Participants on this sailbirding run
included in sail boat #1, sailor Carl Eisenberg, Jennifer Rutten, and
myself. In sailboat #2, sailor Helen Bolgrien, Ann Lowrey and Jym Mooney.
It was a blustery, cloudy day with some puffs, winds around 14 mph.
