I went searching for loons along the Milwaukee lakefront this
afternoon, without success.

I did find a lone female Long-tailed Duck in the Harbor Island
lagoon: http://tdwilson.org/pics/birds/long-tailed_duck.jpg

Also:
Horned Grebes almost everywhere I stopped
N. Shovelors at Bradford Beach
Redhead
Ring-necked Duck
L.Scaup
G. Scaup
Goldeneye
Bufflehead
Common Mergansers
Red-breasted Mergansers - greatly increased numbers from a week or so
ago
Blue-winged Teal at the Coast Guard Impoundment

At Veteran's Park I heard Fox Sparrows singing and found my first
Flickers of the year.
