Four reports about good birds in the area. All are from reliable sources.
1. Short-eared Owls were seen on the Muskegon County Wastewater properties Friday morning (Oct. 22) over the same field where the American Golden Plovers had been reported a few days earlier -- basically the disked field along the west side of Swanson Road north of the East Lagoon.
2. A Purple Sandpiper was sighted by Feller DeWitt yesterday morning (Oct. 22) and seen later by others at the same location as previously reported -- along the rocks on the inner side of the Pere Marquette Park south breakwall almost as far out as the lighthouse.
3. Caleb Putnam phoned about a Red Phalarope at the White Lake Channel this morning. He later posted this to Mich-Listers:
"I received a call from Jonathan Lautenbach and Neil Gilbert that they found a Red Phalarope in the White Lake channel at Whitehall this morning 23 Oct around 8 AM. The bird is in a portion of the channel with a rocky edge, toward Lake Michigan from the parking area along the south edge of the channel."
4. On this morning's nature club fieldtrip several of us saw over 30 species of birds on the Wastewater properties including 50+ Snow Buntings on the dike between the two large lagoons. We did not see any owls or plovers. A complete trip report will be posted on our homepage sometime next week.
