53 Muskegon Bird Species on Saturday

Liz Kibbey with a group of birders from Grand Rapids (including James Fyfe and Steve Minard) found 53 bird species in 7+ hours in Muskegon County on Saturday despite sometimes snowy conditions. 

Waterbirds crowded "Nugent Lake", there were Common Loon and two Horned Grebes at the Pere Marquette Park / Muskegon Channel areas, a Peregrine Falcon flying over Muskegon Lake, swallows and a Vesper Sparrow at the Wastewater, and a Greater White-fronted Goose on a flooded field near Moorland Road on their return trip to Grand Rapids.
