It was a nice enough morning in Estabrook Park, but the sun never broke through the clouds, and maybe the critters used that as an excuse to sleep in. I did see a few birds, but nobody that I knew how to turn into a nice picture.
Thus, I headed over to Havenwoods for Winter Break and hoped for better luck there. Before things really got rolling, I caught a glimpse of bluebirds through the windows, but they bolted as soon as I opened the door, of course, and then it was time to lead a bird walk. We did struggle to see much in the middle of a February afternoon, but as we returned to the Nature Center, and just as it started to snow, look who finally decided to put on a show.
Thanks to Kate for organizing a great Winter Break again, to the Havenwoods staff for hosting the event, and to Donna for inviting me to help staff the Milwaukee Birders table. I’ll be back in Estabrook tomorrow to see if any new faces blew in with the new month.
