Incredibly, 2 BN stilt nests were found today at Mouillee.

12 species of shorebirds, including Red knots in all their finery, White-rumped sandpiper, Wilsons and Red-necked phalaropes.

Common eider is still present, Harlequin duck may have finally moved on.

I had a late BT green warbler in my yard this afternoon, here in Temperance, MI--my first June record for that species in the yard.
