Year Birds Saturday

Two first-of-the-year species arrived in our back yard during pre-breakfast coffee this morning: Baltimore Oriole and Great Crested Flycatcher.  

Later I birded East Grand River (Flahive) Park in Grand Haven.  The bird radar last night had me hopeful that trees would be filled with warblers, but that was only true for Yellow-rumped's.  They were everywhere.  But two Palms and one Yellow were the only other warblers.  My only other Year Bird was Warbling Vireo.

I stopped briefly at Black Lake Park on my way home and found this first-for-my-year Rose-breasted Grosbeak singing atop a tree southwest of where Wood Road crosses the creek.
