October 19 Field Trip Report

Seven of us enjoyed a walk around the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve this morning.  Temperatures rose from the 40’s to the 60’s this lovely fall day.

Along our way we encountered 38 bird species including Trumpeter Swan, Green-winged Teal, grebe, coot, snipe, egret, kingfisher, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Marsh Wren, White-throated Sparrow and Orange-crowned Warbler.  

Thanks to Glen Miller for these photos of Belted Kingfisher, White-throated Sparrow, Great Blue Heron, House Finch and Trumpeter Swan:
