Subject: [birders] Long-tailed Duck at Barton Pond
From: Bob Arthurs <bob.arthurs(AT)sbcglobal.net>
Date: 13 Mar 2008 7:04am
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
I saw a Long-tailed Duck at the west most pulloff of Barton Pond this morning. I
had heard a second-hand report of it last night but was not able to find it.
This morning as I pulled in I saw what looked like a Long-tailed Duck from my
car. I finished parking and got out the scope and did not see it. As I stood
there another person drove up and said he had seen it earlier. The duck
resurfaced and I was able to see it in the scope.
There is also open water visible from the east most pulloff. Among the other
ducks in that water was my first Green-winged Teal of the year.

Subject: [birders] Turkeys!
From: Pat Burden <tallerpat(AT)aol.com>
Date: 13 Mar 2008 12:32pm
Below is a link to my Grovestreet album. This morning was a
particularly active one for the turkeys (and other guests!). We
finally got a good picture of the white turkey that has been visiting
for about two years. I believe it is a leucistic Wild Turkey. She
sure is beautiful - white with dark tips on her feathers.

Subject: [birders] Barton Pond , Thursday afternoon
From: ddarm(AT)umich.edu
Date: 13 Mar 2008 4:57pm
I was able to find the female Long-tailed Duck this morning at 9 am on
Barton Pond, near Foster Nature area. When I returned this afternoon, I
did not see it, though I was treated to a single male RED_BREASTED
MERGANSER and most of the other species that Will Webber reported from
yesterday. There was also a pair of GADWALLs.
I stopped at Foster Bridge and did not see the Greater White-fronted Goose.

It was still at the same location at 6 PM Thursday evening. It spends the great
majority of its time underwater. Be patient.
The red-breasted merg pair was there as well.

Subject: [birders] Short-eared Owls - Pt. Mouillee SGA - 13 Mar 2008
From: "Jerry Jourdan" <jourdaj(AT)gmail.com>
Date: 13 Mar 2008 8:48pm
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Birders,
I've just returned from a lovely evening down at Pt. Mouillee watching (5)
SHORT-EARED OWLS working the Bloody Run Unit and the dikes along the Middle
Causeway. From ~6:30pm to 7:30pm the owls were chasing each other and (5)
NORTHERN HARRIERS that were also working the area. A great experience just
to follow them through the scope and binocs (too far away for pics).
Inland ponds are partially open and ducks have moved into them. Mostly
Coots, Gadwall, Mallard, Redhead and Canvasbacks.
Also seen were (2) American Wigeon and (2) Green-winged Teal and (1) Ruddy
Duck and (1) immature Bald Eagle
Redwings are setting up shop.
A pair of Tree Swallows rounded out the evening!

A bird no one has mentioned yet (I think) - the nighthawk was patrolling
over Meijer's on Jackson Rd. tonight at 10 pm.
