Two Items from Monday


1.  May 9 to Mich-listers:

Adult Harris's Sparrow seen at 10:45 a.m. today at Harbor Island (Grand Haven).  For those not familiar with this area, from US 31 take Jackson
(main intersection just south of the bridge over the Grand River) west and
continue to 3rd St.  Turn right on 3rd and travel over the bridge.  Stay on
the main road.  After a big curve to the right, there is an intersection
with another road that goes left toward the boat launch.  The bird was seen at this intersection.  Last seen on the ground near the yellow barricades at this corner.

2.  May 9 Email:

I had a long email written to you Saturday morning for advice after we saw an owl fall 50 feet out of its hole straight down to the ground.  Thought it might need a rehab center.  Before I could finish and send, the owl had already disappeared again.  We found it later up in another tree being fed a huge vole by its mother.  12 hours later Linda Elenbaas even got pictures of the last one jumping from the nest.  Just thought you might enjoy a few of the pictures from the weekend.
