Subject: [wisb] Lake Park, Milwaukee - New lifer mammal, two new
BIGBY birds, n

After a couple of weeks of (unexpected) fall doldrums, I finally had
a nice day in Milwaukee's Lake Park. Fair number of migrants, two new
birds to add to my 2011 walking BIGBY list, and a new lifer mammal
species.

More highlights:

* The last thing I expected on today's visit to Lake Park was to add
a new mammal to my life list. ... Didn't know there were Red
Squirrels on Milwaukee's eastside. Pretty cool!!

* Gray-cheeked Thrush. Walking BIGBY species #196 for 2011.
* Veery. Walking BIGBY species #197 for 2011.
* Swainson's Thrush
* Hermit Thrush
* Wood Thrush
* Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Three birds.
* Chimney Swifts. Five birds.
* Northern Parula
* Magnolia Warbler
* Yellow-rumped Warbler
* American Redstart. 15-20 individuals.
* Palm Warbler. 4-5 individuals.
* Blue-winged Warbler
* Yellow Warbler
* Wilson's Warbler
* White-throated Sparrow. One immature.
