I came across a first year female pine warbler in Milwaukee's Lake
Park yesterday morning as well, along with quite a few yellow rumped
warblers near the bridge that is out. There were also a lot of RC and
GC kinglets in the park. Other birds were:
Hermit thrushes
Winter Wrens
Brown Creeper
WC and WT Sparrows
Juncos
E. Phoebe
Redstart
Purple Finch

Along with a couple of other birders, we located 4 Surf Scoters and 1
White winged scoter off of Bradford Beach along Milwaukee's
waterfront. There was a 6th Scoter, but it was difficult to tell
between the surf or the white winged scoter for that one. We also had
4 gadwalls amid a decent size flotilla of scaups.
