A visit to a small town park in Sturgeon Bay led to an unexpected spotting of a bird rarely found in North America.   According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Rush and Candy Evans visited Portage Park this past Saturday in Sturgeon Bay and spotted a white wagtail bird.   The small grayish-white bird is rarely found in America but is a more common species in Asia and Europe.  The Wisconsin Society for Ornithology states it is the first-ever sighting of a white wagtail in Wisconsin. The white wagtail is the national bird of Latvia in Europe and has been featured on stamps from several countries.
