On the way back from the WSO convention in Sturgeon Bay, I stopped at
Kewaunee. Rather quiet until walking back to my vehicle by the
harbor/impoundment. I heard what I thought was a Western Kingbird,
which it was. Location was just at the beginning of the impoundment
in the trees.
Other lake front stops proved rather quiet thru Manitowoc. I made a
brief run to Horicon marsh and found basically what everyone else has
already posted for today. I thought I had one of the Eared Grebes,
waaaay back on the pond east of the pumphouse. It disappeared rather
quickly however. The shorebirds were rather restless, as they
frequently would all take flight, cruising around for a while before
relanding---of course mainly way out.
The convention proved to be another great one. Excellent birds,
company and weather (except for the bus trip along Lake Michigan on
Friday, sorry Tom and Scott). The rain mainly did not get north of
Sturgeon Bay. I think the convention total bird list was around 195,
before today's trips!!
