Tundra Swans and Long-tailed Ducks


Hi Ric,

We had about 145 Tundra Swans at the Wastewater Sunday, counting by fives. I had never seen so many together in one group.  It was neat listening to them. They were in the large eastern lagoon.  My far away pictures aren't worth posting.

I did get a pretty good shot of a male Long-tailed Duck off of the south pier at Pere Marquette Park.  The female of the pair that was out there was a little more shy.


No luck on our Purple Sandpiper quest. We'll keep trying.

Any suggestions for someone looking to see possibly the Long-tailed Duck in this area around Dec 21st. We are not familiar with the Muskegon area.

I don't know if this comment is duplicate. I was just saying we are birders not hunters and the Purple Sandpiper would be a great find also! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
