9 Warblers Not Seen + 1 Snake Photographed


Ken Sapkowski emailed us other competitors today that of the 37 warbler species found regularly in Michigan, there are only 9 that he has not yet added to his Year List: Worm-eating, Blackpoll, Canada, Connecticut, Golden-winged, Kentucky, Mourning, Prothonotary and Yellow-breasted Chat.  He'll get Prothonotary almost for sure on our Big Day Count, and might add Blackpoll, Canada, Golden-winged and Kentucky around Muskegon too.  Good luck on the others!

He also sent us Glenda Eikenberry's cell phone photo of this Eastern Hog-nosed Snake that they encountered while birding a path west of Swan Creek yesterday.

First Greg reports birds seen while not bird-watching. Now Ken reports birds not seen while bird-watching. Next I'm expecting birds not seen while not bird-watching.

Also, Canada often breeds at Snug Harbor.
