Subject: [birders] Diving Ducks (including Red-breasted Merganser) at
Little Lake
From: Bob Arthurs <bob.arthurs(AT)sbcglobal.net>
Date: 3 Mar 2008 7:01am
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
There's a good collection of diving ducks at Little Lake today. For me the best
was a Red-breasted Merganser. There were several Canvasbacks and Redheads,
multiple Lesser Scaup and Ring-neck Ducks, a pair of Hooded Mergansers and a
Horned Grebe.
Little Lake is just west of Ann Arbor. It is reached by taking Jackson Road
west past Wagner to Parkland Plaza. Left (south) on Parkland Plaza to Little
Lake Drive. Right (west) on Little Lake Road and left at the second driveway -
the Homebuilders Association. Down the driveway to view the pond.

Subject: [birders] WX:March Lion Lurking
From: Dave Sing <dsing(AT)umich.edu>
Date: 3 Mar 2008 10:51am
WX; During the past two days of fine weather the March winter lion
has been resting in her lair, ready to pounce on Michigan
over the next few days. Today's wonderful mild air will bring a
batch of rain, which is driven ahead of a strong cold front. The
temps will begin to fall this afternoon and the whole state should be
back to snow by this evening. A short lull, then a big
storm lumbering up the Ohio Valley will edge overhead by tomorrow
night, and by Wednesday morning we will have another
shoveling session with at least a few inches of wind-driven
snow. Cold will remain through the weekend, with another shot
at snowfall around Friday. Things do look to ease a bit next week,
but I foresee a volatile transition from our hard winter to
softer spring weather over the next few weeks. So, here's hoping
that our March Lion shows a little mercy, and that her
appearance foretells a flock of mild lambs by the end of the
month. DBS Chelsea MI

Jan,
Interesting website. I like the statement that they can't leave the windows open
because the house would be full of birds--I can think of worse things than a
house full of warblers!

Subject: [birders] Return of the Icterids, Lima Twp., Washtenaw Co.
3/3
From: "Dan Sparks-Jackson" <sparksjackson(AT)aol.com>
Date: 3 Mar 2008 1:38pm
Circa 1PM today I was made hopeful that spring may not be too too far
away, near-term weather reports not withstanding. I submit the following
evidence for consideration:
Eight glossy Common Grackles attending a E. Starling flock along Dancer
Road between Jackson and Jerusalem Roads.
Just around the corner (Jerusalem Road just east of Guenther Road), about
a dozen burbling male Red-winged Blackbirds (also in a Starling flock).
The chorus of the Red-wingeds was wonderful to hear, and the crimson of
their epaulettes was marvelously brilliant on this otherwise dreary day.
I'm not expecting May just yet, but I feel like I can begin to anticipate
warmer days ahead.

I saw a dark phase Snow Goose today about 1:20 on the pond on the east side of
Parker Road about 1/2 mile south of Waters Road. It was on the ice with some
Canada Geese.

Subject: [birders] Oriole not present
From: Ed Lewandowski <scotchman12year(AT)yahoo.com>
Date: 3 Mar 2008 12:21pm
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Hello birders,
I haven't noticed the Orioles over the past few days, I am not home generally
to pay much attention either, but when the weather opens up a bit, he and the
others tend to wander off longer. I will keep an eye open, but whenever I start
to worry he pops back up. So, I am hoping for the best, keep the Cooper's and
Sharpie away and maybe this is one Oriole that made it through.
I will keep you posted
Happy Birding

Despite the bad weather forecast I made the drive to Kehoe Rd., Sutfin, et al
today to find a rough-leg or two, and in fact ended up with four in that
neighborhood. Several killdeer, horned larks, beautiful male harriers, red
tailed hawks, redwinged blackbirds, grackles and a flying sandhill crane added
up to a fine day. Margaret Moran

Subject: [birders] Icterids in Macomb Co.
From: ruttabacki(AT)aol.com
Date: 3 Mar 2008 7:44pm
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Birders,
Upon returning home to Harrison Twp., Macomb Co, today at 5:15 our mile long
street had two flocks of blackbirds.??We stopped to see if the?first flock
included grackles and they were there in significant numbers.? So far this year
we have had only one Common Grackle in the area.? Also included were European
Starlings and Red-winged Blackbirds and Brown-headed Cowbirds.?
When we came close to our bird feeder the birds took flight and a white bird was
quite noticeable in with the blackbirds.? We only got short views and then it
flew west over the North Marsh of Metro Beach Metropark.? Size and bill and walk
seemed to be similar to a cowbird.? All the other blackbirds returned except
this completely whitish-beige bird.? As we studied the blackbirds it became
evident that we also had one Rusty Blackbird.
