Here’s a quick update on the highlights from today at Wisconsin Point, as
provided earlier this evening by Daryl Tessen:
- He said that in the morning a birder on Gull Bluff reported having seen an
adult POMARINE Jaeger. Several of other birders went up there shortly
thereafter, but they were unable to re-locate the bird. Later on, they
spotted another individual that they felt was a juvenile POMARINE.
- He mentioned that FOUR different Parasitic Jaegers were observed over the
course of the day.
- An adult Great Black-backed Gull was present for a time.
- Observed today were several White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows (so
hopefully a Harris’s Sparrow will be spotted there soon also!).
- A total of 20 warblers have been spotted so far, with an overall total of
about 80 species for the Point.
- Daryl said the sandy beach behind Parking Lot #1 was even smaller than it
had been yesterday, with big waves crashing ashore, so they didn’t spend
much time there. He said that Gull Bluff (which is a little further east)
may prove to be a much better vantage point this year!
- He mentioned that the forecast for Thursday (for anyone going up to
Jaegerfest early) is calling for extended periods of rain, but Friday is
sounding dry.
