I will be spending a few days in Washburn, WI in early August and I'm wondering if anyone on this listserv is familiar with the birding there. I have limited space for gear, but would bring a scope if it would be worthwhile; otherwise I'd just bring binoculars. I have a couple of birding brochures from the area, but they are Chamber of Commerce-style so they're more directed toward promoting local businesses and don't give much in the way of directions or species to look for.
Are there places to scan Lake Superior or exposed flats in Bayfield or especially Washburn? If so, does this area host much of interest in early August? Thanks. Shawn Conrad _________________________________________________________________ http://liveearth.msn.com
