Eleven people drove around the Muskegon County Wastewater properties this morning communicating with walkie-talkies and occasionally getting out of their cars to see a nice variety of late-summer birds.
Notable sightings included Blue- and Green-winged Teal; Ruby-throated Hummingbird; Sandhill Crane; Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs; Baird's, Pectoral and Solitary Sandpipers; Northern Harrier; Cooper's Hawk; Tree, Bank, Barn and Cliff Swallows; Common Raven, Chipping, Field, Savannah and Song Sparrows; Bobolink and Yellow Warbler.
Although not an "official field trip" due to Covid conditions, the group still found 54 "unofficial" bird species.
