Midwest Birding Symposium I

Tweet Made it to Lakeside. I am camping at East Harbor State Park where I am volunteering as a guide. The first bird that I saw in the "area" was a Great Egret. They are as common as Great Blues here, but at home they are hard to find.

Also, there are Great Blues too.

Thursday evening, I went on the Sunset Cruise. The water was a little choppy, but not too bad. Saw a gorgeous sunset.

Even chumming for Gulls off the back of the boat with popcorn.

Saw about 15 species of warblers this morning. Started off slow, but picked up and stayed good for at least an hour.

Here is a Palm Warbler hiding from this morning,

A closer up view:

Also had Philadelphia, Warbling, and Red-eyed Vireos.
