WSO Tessen Team

The "WSO Tessen Team" had a pretty good day yesterday, with lots of cool highlights -- including that
Little Blue Heron that we found at Lake Maria (Green Lake Co.), which you heard about yesterday. I will
post a full report later, but we ended up at the Manitowoc harbor where we found neat birds like Little,
Bonaparte's, Great Black-backed and Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Ruddy Turnstone, and Caspian and
Common Terns. Our bird total for the day appears to be 180 species, which we were pretty pleased
with, but unfortunately we didn't find any great concentrations of warblers anywhere, and we had a few
other misses of expected birds -- which certainly hurt our total a bit.
