"On August 20 at 10:00AM Greg Baker (a birder visiting from Oregon) and I observed an adult European goldfinch feeding 1 of 2 young at Myers Park. Although I have seen a few in the past and suspected that they might be breeding in the area, this is proof of breeding. He took a few photos and has a video of this feeding behavior."

Racine Lakefront (morning)
reported by Eric H.
Hoy members met at the
Racine lakefront this morning at
Wind Point Lighthouse & Shoop Park as
well as the area near the Pugh Marina. Highlight at Wind Point were, among
others, separate flybys of 2 Glaucous Gulls (adult and immature).
At the Pugh Marina, besides the usual waterfowl, we found a single Ring-necked
Duck and Ruddy Duck at the north end.
Another observer took a swing down to Carre-Hogle Park after the group departed
and saw 2 more Glaucous Gulls (immatures) on the spit of beach to the east of
the turn around.
Location: Racine - Windpoint (Lighthouse & Shoop Park)
Observation date: 12/13/08
Notes: Hoy Audubon field trip. Birded from the Shoop Park parking lot, then
