Hey folks,
I birded the Milwaukee lakefront today. Overall, fairly quiet
(except for
hundreds of Bonaparte's Gulls from McKinley Marina north to Lake
Park). I
was walking north through Locust Ravine at Lake Park around 6 PM when
I saw
a flash of bright yellow drop into the trailside creek. I was very
surprised when I threw up my binoculars and saw that it was a
PROTHONOTARY
WARBLER. The bird bathed in the creek for about 30 seconds, before
continuing preening in a nearby bush for about another minute. I was
unable
to relocate the bird after that.

Good birding!!!
