Report of Bird Walk
By Paul Hunter
Saturday, May 28, 2005
Lake Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
About 19 birders saw about 35 species on this clear, bright and calm
late spring morning. Many trees had fully developed leaves for
the warblers to hide behind.
A pair of Hairy Woodpeckers eyed us suspiciously as they entered their
nest hole in the ash just south of the Warming House. From the
Rustic Bridge we heard and saw a Canada Warbler, but not the
Connecticut Warbler seen the day before by Tom Prestby. The
Red-headed Woodpecker hopped on to the ground from a large trunk at the
east end of the Locust Ravine.
Join us again in fall.
