Lily Lake Rd. and Hwy. 29 Wetland, Brown County, WI, US - eBird Hotspot
Habitat: Open Water, Beaches and Mudflats.
Best birds: The Highway 29 pond is well-worth a check in migration. The pond hosts a good mix of dabbling and diving ducks every year and they provide closeup views. Timing a visit during ice-out in spring is best, as hundreds of geese including Greater White-fronted Goose and Snow Goose stop by. Depending on recent rains, there are often mudflats present to the north of the pond, between the pond and State Highway 29. When mud is present, a variety of shorebirds including Wilson’s Phalarope can be found. Check the mowed grass along the shore of the pond for shorebirds.
Directions: Exit Interstate 43 to the north on US 141 to State Highway 29. Proceed east 3.5 miles to Buyarski Road. There is a parking area on Hwy 29 west of Buyarski Rd. For a better view of the ponds turn south on Buyarski and then turn right on the Wild Goose Trail that wraps behind the south edge of the pond.
