Good Birds Here and There!


Carol and I have had remarkable numbers and quality of spring birds in our yard yesterday and today: at least one House Wren, several Yellow-rumped Warblers, 7 male and 1 female Baltimore Oriole, 2 male and 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 1 male Ruby-throated Hummingbird and 2 male and 1 female Orchard Oriole (a yard lifer).  - Ric

Charlie DeWitt and I birded Messenger Road at the Muskegon State Game Area yesterday, (4 warbler species), and then checked out the Wastewater for shorebirds.  There were about 35 of them in the low water aeration cell, mostly peeps with some Dunlin, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and one Stilt Sandpiper.
