Roger Newell of Florida who grew up near the Wastewater properties is in Muskegon again for a visit. Yesterday (6/12/15) he birded the WW and took these photographs of a Bobolink, sandpipers (can anyone I.D. these?) and a Black Scoter with what looks like some flavor of Ruddy Duck (comments welcome), perhaps even the Odd Duck referred to in the previous posts:
This morning (6/13/15) Roger and I birded the Wastewater, mostly south of Apple Ave. We recorded 52 species, the usual suspects including Spotted and Upland Sandpipers, Chipping, Field, Vesper, Savannah, Grasshopper and Song Sparrows, Dickcissel and Bobolink, and 5-12 not-so-usual Brewer's Blackbirds in the rapid filtration cells north of the West Lagoon.
