Hi Ric,
I was given your name and website by someone I met while birding at Muskegon Wastewater yesterday (Ken ? - sorry bad with names).
I don't get to this area very often, but my work brings me over from Lansing every once in a while. When I am in the area, I always try to stop by the Wastewater site to see and photograph what I can - especially shorebirds, which I also do woodcarvings of for shows (See http://www.scfwa.net/FlatsShowInfo-2012/2012%20SCFWA%20Results-120827.pdf ).
Here is my list from yesterday: Killdeer (many), Spotted SP (a few), Stilt SP (1), Solitary SP (1), Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs (1 / 3), Short-billed Dowitcher (2), Least SP (a few), Buff-breasted SP (1), Common Snipe (1) and multiple plover which I believe are American Golden - juvenile black-bellied plover also show some golden colors, but I'm fairly sure these were goldens. All were spotted in the afternoon ~3-4 pm at the southeast corner of the east lagoon.
I have attached a couple of pictures (Canon DSLR with 420 mm telephoto length) for you as well.

Tod, that probably would have been Ken Sapkowski. Thanks for the report and pics. - Ric
