Lake Michigan funnels migrating birds to its shores and the many of the parks along the shore host a large number of birds during migration season. In Milwaukee, Lake Park with its deep ravines acts as a welcome temporary shelter for migrating birds heading north in Spring.
I walked a few of the ravines this morning and added 4 more species to this year's list. A quick jump over to the Shorewood Nature preserve also added one more species, a Northern Parula.
