I haven't posted much lately, but I'm still out taking photos! The end of the year and new year brought a few rarities. A day after Christmas, a Tufted Duck showed up in Milwaukee and is only our 3rd state record. Then on New Year's Day, a Purple Sandpiper was found along Lake Michigan. A Ruddy Turnstone has also been hanging around the lakefront for several months and refuses to migrate south! I was able to see a Red-necked Grebe that was near breeding plumage and Waukegan Beach hosted a Small-billed Elaenia, which is from South America! Today, I found 3 Long-eared Owls too!
