Lotsa Birds on NAMC Despite Wind & Rain

.
I birded two locations on the North American Migration Count this morning.  Among the 33 identifiable species at the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve were 30 Red-winged Blackbirds, 3 Baltimore Orioles, 3 White-throated Sparrows, 1 Brown Thrasher, 1 Warbling Vireo, 1 Swainson's Thrush, 1 Ovenbird, 1 Belted Kingfisher and 1 Spotted Sandpiper.  Along Black Creek in Fruitport Township the 32 species included 6 White-throated Sparrows, 3 House Wrens, 2 Baltimore Orioles, 2 male and 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, 1 Palm Warbler, 1 Wood Thrush, 2 Ovenbirds and 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.

If we hear any particulars from Brian, Feller, Charlie, Carolyn, John, etc. from the other NAMC locations, we'll post those here, and when all of the Muskegon NAMC results are tabulated sometime in the future by Brian Johnson, we'll post those either here or on the homepage.
