Dan Lockard emails these photos which he took at the Wastewater yesterday (6/11/13). The first is an Upland Sandpiper, the second I'm calling Eastern Wood-pewee, and the third a Box Turtle. I don't "do" turtles and may have missed the flycatcher too, so please click "Comments" below if you have corrections or additions. Thanks!

The dark smudges on the undertail coverts are a good mark for EW Pewee. Cool box turtle!
Thanks, Chace. Good tip. Last month my son Andy and I birded SE Arizona and had one of these guys vocalizing (just the first half of song, never the last half) in the mid-elevations of the Chiricahua Mountains, a fairly rare migrant there. Each one I've heard back here in Muskegon I've figured might be that guy. I certainly hear them more than I see them!
