You will see lots of birds in Door County! Not likely the Whoopers though. Last time up we saw lots of swans and Pileated Woodpeckers,

Oh come on.. What did you buy it for? to look at?? LOL.. what we do on those is to add a couple extra days on our own, in order to justify "the tow".

We have a unique chance to see one of the rarest birds in North America in the Whooping Cranes that have started migrating on their own from here to Florida with the sandhills. After a number of attempts to guide them with aircraft etc. the scientists have a few released with wild sandhills. We saw them in the fall when they were getting ready to go, and I think I saw two of them in a flock of sandhills Friday. I hope they are successful getting some numbers again.

I'm going to say that they are like the Snow Geese that parked for a week in the field of winter wheat that was about 3 inches tall, they left big green blobs over all the cars and trucks. You really had to worry about getting out of the car to walk to the truck as you could get bombed. Goose Very pretty to watch from the safety of the cab.

Glad they are back up there.. we had a million of them spend most of the winter in the bean field north of us.. They are noisy.. and other things.
