City of Muskegon Christmas Bird Count


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !

Yesterday (Dec. 23) three groups of birders censused a 15-mile circle (centered downtown) on our annual City of Muskegon Christmas Bird Count.  When the final numbers are compiled, we'll post them here.

The "bird of the day" was this Marsh Wren found by the Central Group near the abandoned B.C. Cobb Plant and photographed by Ethan Kibbey:



The South Group found two Common Ravens at the Wood Road bridge near Black Lake.

Nothing exotic was found by the North Group, but Carol Cooper took these photos on the Muskegon State Park walk from Snug Harbor to the Muskegon Channel:






Some of us met for lunch near the spiral (and possibly haunted) staircase in the Cherokee Restaurant.
