Port Washington Birding
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008One of the distinctive sounds we’ve grown accustomed to
since moving to Port Washington is the honking of geese as they wing their way between the shoreline of Lake Michigan and areas inland.
In Iowa where we grew up, pheasants were common but geese were not!
They offer entertainment throughout the winter as they arrow through the skies.
A walk along the harbor gives ample opportunity to observe the antics of a variety of ducks bobbing about in the water.
Geese, ducks, gulls are ever present and a myriad of other birds are sighted as they move through the area during their spring and fall migrations.
Ample viewing areas overlooking the shoreline make Port Washington a birding paradise!
At the Port Washington Inn our guests can pick up the Great Wisconsin Birding & Nature Trail Lake Michigan Region AND the Ozaukee Trailside Birding Guide.
Then they can walk to the lakeshore
and Interurban Trail with binoculars and cameras in hand to capture the moment!
