Mich-Listers Western Grebe Update - Caleb

.
All-

Adam Byrne just called to report that he and Phil Chu are looking at a pair of Western Grebes, apparently a male and a female, near the Coast Guard station on the south side of the Grand River channel in Grand Haven, Ottawa Co. (31 Dec 2010, 11:30 a.m.). The station is located near the intersection of Sherman Ave and S. Harbor Dr., or at about these coordinates which can be used with Google Maps 43.060244,-86.238996 . Another way of saying it is that the station (and the birds) are about 0.7 mi inland from Lake Michigan, or about a half of a mile downstream of Chinook Pier, in the Grand River.

Pretty amazing back to back years for this species in Michigan!

Good Birding,
Caleb Putnam
