32 Species at MLNP This Morning

I birded the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve for a couple hours this morning observing 32 bird species.  Of note were three Pied-billed Grebes, at least two Brown Thashers, a Peregrine Falcon perched on the strobe light near the west nest box on the Cobb Plant smokestack across the river, White-throated Sparrows singing their peabody song at various locations on the preserve, a few Yellow-rumped Warblers, a male Wood Duck, and a House Wren singing and battling with a Black-capped Chickadee near the preserve entrance, each taking turns being the aggressor.
