Woodpecker

I went birding in Lake Park today after the morning rains stopped.
Beautiful weather after a rather gray bout of rainy weather. Ran into
a friendly birder from Washington State and she and I birded together
for a bit.

A few highlights:

* Caught a brief glimpse of a Wild Turkey hen after the Washington
birder and I parted ways near the Warming House. The turkey was in
the same area as my other turkey sightings. Locust Street Ravine,
general vicinity of the iron bridge.

* Saw a Red-headed Woodpecker at the suet feeder by the Wolcott
statue. It was there when I first came to the park, and there again
when I left.

* Saw/heard a Killdeer pass overhead. First one I've seen in awhile.

* Looks like lawn bowling season is underway at Lake Park. :-) See:

My wife was running in Milwaukee's Lake Park early this AM (5:30) and
spotted a Wild Turkey hen. The bird was on the golf course near Lake
Drive, by the north lighthouse ravine.
