As I suggested yesterday, I did ride down to Lakeshore State Park this morning to join the Milwaukee Birders again. There was a stiff breeze coming off the lake, so thank goodness temps were milder than they’ve been recently. When I spotted this little cutie, I got all excited because the white-ish bib and collarContinue reading “Are they green, or are they blue?”

Slim pickin’s at the Lakeshore…
It was a fabulous day for a visit to Lakeshore State Park in downtown Milwaukee. The sky was clear, the breeze was very light, and the temps soared from the high 60s at sunrise into the low 70s by mid morning. My only quibble would be with the relative dearth of birds. Sure, there wereContinue reading “Slim pickin’s at the Lakeshore…”
More wildlife than walkers today…
It was another beautiful morning in Estabrook Park, and it seemed that the Canadian wildfire smoke, which had dimmed yesterday a bit, has mostly moved on. My first treat of the morning came on the river, just north of the falls, when I saw that a big section of a cottonwood tree had fallen intoContinue reading “More wildlife than walkers today…”

There was a Cooper’s hawk, which I don’t believe I’ve managed to photograph sinceContinue reading “Some success on a soggy day…”

Fortunately, the fog eventually dispersed a bit, so I was able to get a picture of ourContinue reading “The fog thickens…”
Lake Michigan delivers again…
In celebration of Mother’s Day, I’m sure, and World Migratory Bird Day, which was actually yesterday, the Milwaukee Birders planned a little show-and-tell event at Lakeshore State Park this morning, and I was ready for a change of pace, so I rode my bike down at sunrise to wait for them to arrive. Just kidding.Continue reading “Lake Michigan delivers again…”
A wild morning at the lakeshore…
Temps were pretty mild this morning, but the clouds were thick, and the breeze was strong, so it might not seem like an ideal morning to visit Lakefront State Park with the Milwaukee Birders. The wildlife was amazing, however, and I was lucky enough to have packed the right clothing, so I had a fantasticContinue reading “A wild morning at the lakeshore…”
