I found several nice mixed flocks of warblers and kinglets on the north side of
Washington Island in Door County these last two days (Saturday and Sunday);
they included Tennessees, Cape Mays, Yellow-rumps, Blackpolls, Am. Redstarts,
--- but the more noteworthy species were one Whimbrel on the rocks near the
Rock Island Ferry dock, and in the Jackson Harbor Ridges State Natural Area,
the real "surprise" bird: a Carolina Wren. The pattern with Carolinas has been
the slight northward expansion of their range in those years with milder
winters. Mid-state birders have them pretty much annually, now. But this
location was a bit unexpected.
