Waterbirds Congregating East of Muskegon

February 24 Email:

I took a ride down Swanson Road this afternoon, and the flooded fields on the west side south of the Musketawa Trail are filling up with geese and ducks.  Along with the hundreds of Canada Geese and Mallards there were several Snow Geese and Greater White-fronted Geese, as well as Northern Pintail and American Wigeon. There were also Sandhill Cranes along the north side of the trail and Red-winged Blackbirds along Moorland Road.
