Sunday and Monday Wastewater Reports

March 20 Email to Mich-listers:

A few noteworthy species seen this afternoon at the MWS in Muskegon

County.  Two golden eagles both perched on the same power pole along the north side of the the large east lagoon.  I saw one in flight and it was an immature.  The other didn't fly.

Near the landfill, there was one adult lesser black-backed gull on the dump and one 1st winter Iceland gull in the water adjacent to the dump.  The area they are now dumping is excellent for looking through the gulls.

Viewing from the wastewater dike.

I want to share a few pictures with you from the other night.  Went to look for the Short-eared Owls with no luck.  However, we did have three American Woodcocks.

Before sunset, we found some Snow Buntings, one of which was intent on taking a bath, so I snapped some pics of this cute and fluffy little bunting flinging water all over the place.  Then I had a Killdeer really close to the car that I wanted to take pics of, and he was apparently hunting, and he pulled a worm out and was eating it too.
