Many of us counted birds for our annual Christmas Bird Count yesterday. When I get the totals calculated, I'll post them here or on our homepage.
Meanwhile, Carol Cooper and Torsten Pawlowski emailed the following photos.
Carol's from the northside CBC count: Ken and Roger Sherburn walking the Snug Harbor trail, Ric Pedler and Jill Henemyer scanning Muskegon Lake, and all of us birding north of the Muskegon Channel where we observed that interesting phenomenon when the Lake creates kerzillions of wonderfully rounded snow/ice balls.
Torsten (from Texas, goes all over the country photographing eagles for his EaglesRUs business) wrote, "Spent last three days at Wastewater. Not much there other than some fun people. Guess when people come from Texas, the birds go on a break. I got to drive my son Ryan around so he could take pictures. He had trouble finding the bird with the pink nose in the bird book though. We are off to Iowa and Lock 14 to try to find eagles fishing. Will try WW one more time before we head back to Texas."
Torsten's (or Ryan's?) photos of this Northern Pintail pair, an Opossum, and a Merlin prove that all the wildlife did not take a break from the Wastewater.
Thanks, Torsten! And have a safe trip back to Texas.
