August Field Trip

Seven people birded the Muskegon County Resource Recovery Center properties on Saturday morning, August 16.  They found 41 bird species (including a Common Raven by the entrance), Wood Duck, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Ruddy Duck, Sandhill Crane, Spotted Sandpiper, both yellowlegs, Pectoral and Least Sandpipers, American Kestrel, Bald Eagle, Horned Lark, Bank-, Tree-, and Barn Swallows, Cedar Waxwing and Bobolink.

(We’re lucky we did not try to have the George Wickstrom Trail dedication this morning as originally scheduled.  Although most of the MCRRC properties were acccessible, the headquarters and trail-head locations were barricaded.)
