One of my birding stops this morning on the Milwaukee lakefront gave great looks at Willets. They were spread out some and some were feeding while I was present. There were 10 of them. This beach is actually just north of McKinley but part of that area. It was a sunny day with mild temps around 50 with low winds. Images were taken on April 23, 2026.
