_The Birds of Washtenaw County, Michigan_, gives May 14 as the spring
arrival date for Common Nighthawk. That's two months from now. _The
Birds of Dearborn - An Annotated Checklist_ gives May 8 as the earliest
spring date and May 15 as the typical arrival date. Might this have been
some other bird? If it's a nighthawk, it's one seriously confused bird
and it's unlikely to survive.

I had a wonderful, sun filled day outside. Hiked over 7 miles, saw 73
species! A couple local birds made it on the list, too. Jerry, I wish I
had stayed later to see the Short Eared Owls. My favorites were a solo male
Northern Shoveler and the lone Trumpeter Swan. Actually, the male
Northern Harrier was the most gorgeous, and close looks, too.
I thought i had a lifer, but instead of a Black Legged Kittiwake, I think
I saw a peculiar Bonaparte's gull around the northern most cell of the
Banana Dike. I have been seeing several this year, already but this bird
seemed bigger.... The leading wing edges were black, but the trailing edge
was not. But it couldnt have been a Black Legged Kittiwake (first year)
having reddish- orange feet...?!?!
Who knows. Anyway, go see for yourself. It's amazing there right now, and
is only getting better.

This I was informed of by another birder and I dutifully went to listen on
line to woodcock calls. Unless all the woodcock audio sites have really bad
recordings, it was not a woodcock. The pitch was higher and had the
overtones of a nighthawk. I've also been a nighthawk watcher/hearer for 40
years which was why I jumped out of my skin when I heard it. I said, "Naw,
it's a killdeer." But of course at 10 pm it certainly was not and I don't
know when they come but I don't think it is now.
I will stake my ears on the one seriously confused bird suggestion, if
woodcock is my only other choice. I'm really sorry it's too early for him.

We have Eastern Towhee nesting behind our house every summer. I heard one this

passing through or is our regular summer nester. Either way, he's early by a

A group of Eastern Meadowlarks (approximately 10) have shown up at Oakwoods.
They are located in the field on the north side of the road just past the

extremely vocal. Happy birding.

Last night while I was out walking, I twice heard what sounded like a

one iteration of the Whip-poor portion of the call. Has anyone ever heard
them call like that before? Or is it likely that something else was making
the sound?

Our Meijer in Lowell has a mural of Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" in the
food court. Yours may as well. So you may indeed have "Nighthawks" at
Meijer right now.

Birders,
Nothing really notable, but killdeer and TV are back. Lot's of
evening roost activity as gulls, ducks and blackbirds fly over
looking for a safe place to spend the night. On the topic of
confusing calls, i watched a single starling yesterday as he
alternated between spot-on Red-tailed Hawk and Eastern Meadowlark
song. They are interesting birds. I wouldn't be shocked if they
could do a nighthawk sound!

Subject: [birders] Probable Cackling Goose, Barton Pond
From: LaRue Wells <texwells(AT)comcast.net>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 2:51pm
At 2:25pm today (March 14) I saw what I judged to be a Cackling
Goose at Barton Pond, Washtenaw County. It flew in with a flock of
about 125 Canada Geese and landed on the ice a couple of hundred
yards east of the pullout (off Huron River Drive) for Foster woods,
or a couple of hundred yards west of the easternmost pullout. The
geese were still on the ice when I left at 2:45. They were pretty
close to the open water along the near shore, so were not at too
great a distance.

John,
European Starlings will indeed imitate a lot of birds, including nighthawks.
Often, in April, they start imitating Eastern Wood-Pewees prompting many to
think they've arrived early.

You may wonder how it weighs the food.
It doesn't. It just eats another hummingbird.

In the last few days I've already seen a starling doing a meadowlark (very
common) and another doing a red-tailed hawk 's call (a first for me).

Subject: [birders] Long-tailed Duck (still)
From: "Bruce M. Bowman" <bbowman99(AT)comcast.net>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 5:11pm
Tex Wells found the Long-tailed Duck again earlier today, but it flew
off. I have just been over to Barton Pond, and it's back. From 4:30 to
5:00 Will Weber and I watched it diving repeatedly off Foster Savanna.
(This is the woods at the western-most pulloff at Barton Pond. Park, go
down the bank and across the railroad tracks, and walk to the river side
of the woods.)
Will was timing its dives. It goes down for 50 seconds and then stays up
for 8-15 seconds.
I'll post some photos later.

I've posted a (poor) photo of the female Long-tailed Duck, Washtenaw
County, Barton Pond (across from Foster Savanna). This bird was found by
Will Weber on March 12 and has been seen each day since at the same
location, although not dependably.

Birders,
A sincere thank you to all who took time to answer my many questions about
Coopers Hawks... For that matter, to the many who have interacted with me,
and enriched....enlightened my life in different ways. Life is truly 'for
the birds'.
P.S. Mouilee wasnt as hot as before. But Jerry's Tree swallows are
multiplying... I found six today around the Huron River mouth, and a bit
east of the marina with the old, dead, out to pasture boats.... HIked 5
miles anyway and met some nice folks. Song Sparrows were very vocal today.
Spring fever feels so good. YIPPEE!
Love, Jeff

While birdng Pt. Mouilee, an aquaintance found what appears to be a set
screw for a tripod or spotting scope mount. The screw was taken to the
Marshlands Museum, where it was given to Paul Cypher for safe keeping
(at Lake Erie Metropark).
I did notice a group of young people with an adult male leader, who was
carrying a scope on a tripod. Karen from Lake Erie Metropark found the
part, and claims that there was a van with the "SMRR" insignia on it .
What a great role model, teacher that person is....
Anyway, hope we can find that person, and get his equipment back together!
Love, Jeff
