Island Lake Rec Area has hosted Beaver in recent years.
Unfortunately, No further signs exist, as the area is frequented by
trappers, hunters. But the range is expansive. Used to be several Poplar
trees in the vicinity of Trout Lake bearing their sign. A lodge existed on
the eastern most edge of the property, around the private gravel pit east of
Trout Lake. I saw a large adult while birding two years ago in April.
Remember, animals and birds dont follow the rules that science( not an exact
science) has established. All you know is that you dont know. Enjoy it
anyway.
Love, Jeff

I went to Huron River Drive yesterday to try to see all these amazing birds
on Barton Pond. After clambering over the trash and brush that some
demented person thought would prevent our crossing the RR tracks, I got to
the shore, in a strong, very chilly breeze and observed numerous birds, all
at the far other side of the pond. The only thing near me was the white
exercise ball still on top of the ice. No birders; no birds that could have
been examined without a telescope.
So I waved at the train when it blasted through (no whistles at Foster
Bridge anymore! Must have been at Zeeb when it announced itself)
Then I began driving my daughter's little VW Beetle back towards Maple Rd.
Suddenly a humongous black monster rose up from the side of the road and
headed straight for me. Before I could react, I saw it was an enormous
bird, wings spread wider than the car, beautiful black feather flocked with
lighter colors. Before my life could flash before my eyes, the bird rose
straight up on the bow-wind the car produced and went overhead. I was going
so slowly that I could see it coast to the far side of the road, then, in my
rear-view mirror, glide back to the side where it had started, to land and
begin picking at the roadkill.
Closest I've ever been to a turkey vulture. It was magnificent!

Subject: [birders] One Road Challenge, 03/30/08
From: Catherine Carroll <songsparrow(AT)wowway.com>
Date: 31 Mar 2008 6:16am
Birders,
Five teams and thirteen birders participated in the One Road
Challenge yesterday. The combined effort produced a very respectable
71 species found on five different roads of varying length and
habitat. No rarities were seen, but some very nice birds were
found. Common Loon, Horned Grebe, fly-over Cackling Geese, Blue-
winged and Green-winged Teal, Woodcock, Screech Owl, Tree Swallows,
Eastern Phoebe, Winter Wren, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Swamp, White-
crowned and Field sparrow and Rusty Blackbird are examples of just
some of the birds. The Grebeous Errors, Roger Wykes and Andy
Johnson, birded Maple Road and ran away with the victory.
Our breakfast at the Flim Flam Restaurant served us well again this
year. We all warmed up with coffee, hot chocolate and a hearty
breakfast for the tally. The One Road Challenge is a good-natured
and fun excuse to team up for some birding when it's generally still
very quiet. That is about to change, of course. Soon the heavens
will open and we'll all be running around and finding our spring
migrants everywhere.
With this in mind, I invite everyone to participate in one or all of
the eight week series of walks through Nichols Arboretum to monitor
the progression of spring migration. The first of these begins on
Thursday, April 10th with an 8:00 am start at the end of the
Riverside Drive cul-de-sac. Details found on the Washtenaw Audubon
Society website - www.washtenawaudubon.org - click on field trips.
Good birding,
Cathy Carroll
Field Trip Coordinator

Date: 31 Mar 2008 9:02am
Hello all,
The staff at Hudson Mills Park has been very accomodating and has arranged on
short notice to keep the park open late tonight for a salamander walk. As a
special event there is a small charge but I think it should be worthwhile.
Unfortunately, Eddie Sanchez and I will both be out of town on business trips
and will be unable to enjoy the show. I would encourage bright flashlights,
rain gear, and good footwear. As Eddie said, watch where you step on the path to
avoid hurting the sals!
Rick
Here is the notice from Jennifer Hollenbeck at Hudson Mills. Please thank her
for the help in making this happen!
Salamander Migration 8 pm
Join us at Hudson Mills Metropark to witness the salamander migration. This
fascinating event only happens for a short amount of time in the spring. Meet
at Oak Meadows parking lot where we will then walk to the ponds. $2/child and
$5/adult cash/check only. Call (734) 426-8211 for more information.

Subject: [birders] No birds at my feeder
From: Maria Todd <purplefinch05(AT)yahoo.com>
Date: 31 Mar 2008 7:50am
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Hello All! I need some assistance with getting birds to come to my new feeder.
I live in an apartment in Novi that backs up to Walled Lake. Last fall a tree
right in front of our apartment, had to be cut down due to weather fatalities.
I was getting birds at my feeder most of the winter. Then I had to stop feeding
them for about three weeks because the feeder string broke and my feeder was no
longer usable. Well about three weeks ago I got a new feeder and put some seed
in it. I thought I was not getting birds because the seed may have been stale
so I went out and purchased a bird seed mix including millett, corn, and
sunflower seeds but they still do not seem to be coming. Do you think it is the
new feeder I purchased? It is smaller then the other feeder in length but
width wise it is about the same. Any suggestions? I do have a suet cage and I
was thinking about hanging it from a tree across the main road leading into our
apartment complex. Do you think this
would help? I appreciate and will accept all suggestions.
Thanks,
Maria

Subject: [birders] Lapland Longspur, Grosse Ile
From: "Greg Norwood" <Greg_Norwood(AT)fws.gov>
Date: 31 Mar 2008 8:01pm
Hello birders,
There was a lapland longspur in the airport property at Grosse Ile. If one
is inclined, I would recommend standing along Groh Road looking onto the
airport and you will notice quite a few horned larks, but you may get
lucky with a lapland longspur as I did today. It was quite vocal flying
around and some of the calls do sound a bit like a snow bunting, so keep
your ears tuned.

We have had sightings just like this (longspur with larks) east of
Cleveland, OH since last Friday. While I have not been privileged to
see them yet I am told the males are in full breeding plumage.

Hello birders,
There was a lapland longspur in the airport property at Grosse Ile. If
one
is inclined, I would recommend standing along Groh Road looking onto the
airport and you will notice quite a few horned larks, but you may get
lucky with a lapland longspur as I did today. It was quite vocal flying
around and some of the calls do sound a bit like a snow bunting, so keep
your ears tuned.
Greg
