One of the field trip stops was at the McKinley Marina near Veterans Park.

There was a good turnout of Wisconsin Birders for the January Field Trip of the Lake Michigan shoreline from South Shore Yacht Club to Sheboygan harbor. The temperature was a little above freezing and the winds moderate, as periods of sunshine felt great. Highlights for the group were a Snowy Owl perched on the rocky breakwater at South Shore Yacht Club, and a Harlequin Duck at the North Point area. This was my first time for such an experience, as I had only recently started birding. Most of my birding has been for tree perching birds, so the water birds and the birders on this field trip were a refreshing change.
