Visiting Green Bay, Wisconsin and vicinity

 

Early morning bird walks at the Wildlife Sanctuary.
Great to be returning to Green Bay for Spring migration.

This year a Barred Owl is nesting in the park.


Look carefully and you will see the owlet peeking 


This is a great place for warbler migration - one of the rarities
that everyone was looking for was the Canada Warbler.


The Canada Warbler was one of the 26 warbler species that we
saw in the 12 days we birded at the Sanctuary.

Unusually far north for this warbler.

As always it was great to visit with friends, and experience God's creation at this outstanding park.
