Day Trip! Sheboygan Winter Bird Spectacular @ Daily Baking Company | Port Washington | Wisconsin | United States

Join us for a day trip to the Wisconsin lakefront and nearby city and state parks, where species like Harlequin Duck, Surf Scoter, Common and Red-throated Loons can sometimes be seen alongside more common winter waterfowl as well as landbirds like Snow Buntings, Evening Grosbeak, Pine Siskin and Purple Finch. One local park also is known for Great Tit, a European bird that may eventually be countable on the American Bird Association checklist.

We’ll gather at 9 am at Daily Baking Company (211 N Franklin Street, Port Washington), roughly 60 miles north of the Illinois border – then begin our birding at nearby Coal Dock Park. Next we’ll head north making multiple stops including several in Sheboygan and possibly Manitowoc, depending on weather and bird reports.

Dress warmly and bring spotting scopes if you have them.

 NOTE: This trip is weather-dependent; we will advise if it is too cold and windy for good birding.
