Harbor Island and Ottawa Sands County Park


I birded Harbor Island for a couple hours this morning meeting Dick Baker and Pat Bazany along the way.  

Yellow-rumped Warblers and Ruby-crowned Kinglets were everywhere.

Other species included Blue-winged Teal, Sora, Brown Creeper, Wood Thrush, Brown Thrasher and Common Yellowthroat.

Afterwards Pat and I birded the woodland trail at Ottawa Sands County Park.  I didn't keep a species count but added three to my Michigan Year List (now 101): Warbling Vireo, Broad-winged Hawk and White-throated Sparrow


Palm Warblers were plentiful at both locations:



Earlier this morning Pat birded the Hofma Preserve where she took this photo of a Cape May Warbler:
