Birding Snug Harbor


Along Lost Lake Trail -- beautiful but virtually birdless.

There were many birds at Snug Harbor (Muskegon State Park) this morning, 25 species in the first half hour along the parking lot fringes, 33 total for the day.  

Common Yellowthroat with breakfast.

A green-on-green dragonfly, identified later
by Charlie as a female Eastern Pondhawk.

I never saw but probably heard an Acadian Flycatcher in the woods along the trail south of the west parking lot.  Other birds included Belted Kingfisher, Pileated Woodpecker, Marsh Wren, Veery, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager and Indigo Bunting.  Today's missing species: American Robin !
