The forecast for Sunday looks like northwest winds and moderate temps, and
there will be a raptor watch at Forest Beach Migratory Preserve that day. If
you decide to go, walk to the northeast corner of the preserve (a large map
will be attached to a vehicle parked near the former clubhouse), where you will
find at least a few people engaged in counting any raptors that pass overhead.
To get to FBMP, exit at the northernmost Port Washington exit (exit 100) on Hwy
I-43, turn southeast onto WI Hwy 32. Turn north (left) at the next intersection
onto County LL. Take Hwy LL north about 3.4 miles, then go east on Hwy P all
the way to its end (about 1.5 miles), turn left at the end of eastbound P, and
go north about one block to the former Squires golf course clubhouse and
parking area. Look for the map of the property there, and walk about .4 mile
northeast to the watch site. A raptor watch tower/platform is under
construction. I can't say if it will be finished by this weekend - but it might
be. I expect some people wil be there from mid-morning through at least early
afternoon. Winds may change to the northeast in the afternoon, which will
diminish the potential for a raptor flight. Late morning will probably be the
best time that day, if weather is as forecast.
