Subject: Good Oak Openings birds, etc.

A very brief drive through the Oak Openings this afternoon, June 3rd (I had no binoculars, just drove through the park with the windows down) yielded the following specialties:

Clay-colored sparrow, still singing emphatically along Sager, .2 mile east of Girdham.

Blue grosbeak, singing male, same spot as Clay-colored sparrow.

Summer tanager, singing along Girdham road just north of rails to trails, in the same woods as the Red-headed woodpecker's nest.

Hooded warbler, singing at White Oak.

Pine warbler, singing at the Lodge.

Red-headed woodpecker, seen in their usual location along Girdham.

Also found a spectacularly-marked Eastern Box turtle along Sager road.



I had both American redstart and Blackpoll warbler in my yard in Temperance, MI today also. Beats my latest warbler date for my yard by 1 day. The Red-eyed vireo(s) and Eastern wood-pewee(s) in my yard the last several days may be summering birds looking for love in pretty marginal habitat, rather than late migrants...hard to say.
