Wisconsin and Lake Park birders,

Warbler Walks at Lake Park, - Saturdays, 8:30 to 10:00 AM
Fall 2010:  Aug 21, Aug 28, Sept 4, Sept 11, Sept 18, Sept 25
Meet at the Warming House on the north end of the park.
=====================================================
About seven moist birders tramped around and into Locust Ravine near  
the wooden and iron bridges. We struggled against poor light  
conditions to identify active, apparently hungry warblers before the  
sky darkened and thunder rumbled at 10:15 AM.  The Golden-winged  
Warbler was definitely the highlight and a life bird for some of us.   
Just to make things particularly difficult Blackpoll and Pine  
Warblers were the most common warblers.
