September 21 Field Trip Report

        Four birders enjoyed a beautiful fall morning with tremendous bird activity by the Hoffmaster State Park picnic shelter.  We were honored to have a new birder join us from Saranac!  

Bird highlights included blue-headed vireo, yellow-throated vireo, and at least two juvenile yellow-bellied sapsuckers.  We had many warblers whizzing around but could only nail down identities on five.  

Greg DeWeerd enhanced the trip by sharing his knowledge of tree species and the history of Hoffmaster Park and the surrounding area.  It was a great Muskegon morning for migrants!
