Hello Birders,
Bell's Vireo, present as of 6:35 this morning. Still present and easily
visable along the brush line by the birches as mentioned. Still present when I
left at 7:25. Met with Paul Berrimen and he was also able to locate it. Sorry
about the spelling Paul.
Good amounts of Palm Warblers, Yellow Rumps, and GC Kinglets.
Glad to see my little urban park get sub pub for something more than ducks and
waterfowl.
Happy Birding

The Kalamazoo Nature Center Prairie was hot this morning. Surprisingly, the
single most abundant species of bird (at least away from the edges) was
HENSLOW'S SPARROW (at least 12+ territorial males). One SHORT-EARED OWL
flushed and flew a perimeter around the field, scaring the red-wings.
SAVANNAH SPARROWS were present, but still moving about in loose
flocks and don't appear to be acting territorial yet. Also of note was a
single pair of SEDGE WRENS whose male was singing constantly and a male
GRASSHOPPER SPARROW that occasionally sang from the field's surprisingly
dense center. While the Henslow's territories appear to be relatively small
based on the density of singing males, the pair of sedge wrens appear to be
defending a rather large territory, perhaps three times the size of a
henslow's. WILD TURKEY called frequently from the tree line. My impression
is that it is still fairly early for most of the grassland birds, especially
the migrants and that breeding won't start for a bit.

Subject: [birders] White-crowned sparrows Apr. 26-28
From: eba(AT)umich.edu
Date: 28 Apr 2008 9:06am
On Saturday late afternoon I saw a pair of white-crowned sparrows in the
bushes bordering the entrance path from the parking lot of the Brauer
Preserve (on Parker Rd. just south of Scio Church Rd.).
Sunday morning a single white-crowned appeared at my feeder, and I have
observed it again Sunday evening and this morning sporadically.

Mike Sefton called to ask me to post the following info. (I hope I've
got it all straight).
The Bell's Vireo was still being seen at 9:20am today at Beaudette Park
in Pontiac. It has been with kinglets in a woods next to the river.
Enter Beuadette Park from Orchard Lake Road east of Telegraph. Park in
the first dirt parking lot you come to. Cross the road and walk to the
river. The birds are in a thicker part of the woods to the left of where
you can walk right down to the river. The Bell's Vireo has been singing
occasionally.

Late additions to the spring arrival list from Saturday, April 26 were
Scarlet Tanager (a new early date), a Common Yellowthroat in west
Dearborn, and a Wood Thrush in west Dearborn (ties early spring date).
Yesterday, Sunday April 27, new arrivals on campus were Gray Catbird,
Blue-winged Warbler, Ovenbird, Baltimore Oriole, Yellow-throated and
Warbling Vireos, and Cliff Swallow. The first Rose-breasted Grosbeak
showed up in our east Dearborn yard. Although this is nice variety, most
species occurred in just singles or small numbers.
Today I got in my survey route before the rain became steady. I had a
similar species mix, and no new arrivals.
What I've also found interesting is that very few birds are singing, or
singing persistently. Seems that in past years it has been more typical
for the first wave of migrants to be much more vocal.

Sunday morning, I saw several white-throated sparrows at that location,
along with an oriole & yellow-rumped warblers.
On the big hill in the northwest corner of the preserve, I saw a summer
tanager. I didn't know what it was, but at home it was easy to pick it out
as a "first spring male" in my field guide.

Subject: [birders] Bell's Vireo - late morning, Monday
From: "Bruce M. Bowman" <bbowman99(AT)comcast.net>
Date: 28 Apr 2008 2:29pm
The Bell's Vireo was still being seen at 11:15-11:45 today at Beaudette
Park in Pontiac. It has been with kinglets in scrub close to the river.
Enter Beaudette Park from Orchard Lake Road 0.3 miles east of Telegraph.
Park in the first dirt parking lot you come to. Cross the road and walk
to the river. Walk about two hundred yards left along the river until
you come to an "island" of scrub in the grass past some picnic tables.
The Bell's Vireo spent a lot of time in that island with some kinglets
before they all moved over to the scrub along a birch woods by the river.
The Bell's Vireo has singing occasionally.
There were about eight birders there when I was there. Look for birders.
They're probably on the bird.

Date: 28 Apr 2008 6:11pm
In case any list members won't be looking for warblers on the evening of
Wednesday, May 7, I wanted to mention that I'll be doing a short talk on
my book 'Fowl Weather' at 6:30 pm at the
Hamburg Township Library, 10411 Merrill Road, *Hamburg, MI* 48139.
Although the book is primarily about pet birds, there are several
sections about birding and bird rehab in it, including a chapter that
takes place at Muskegon Wastewater System.
For more info on 'Fowl Weather,' please follow the link below.
For photos of a few of the birds that my wife and I have rehabbed, see

Thanks.

I have had a good sized flock of White throateds in my yard these last
several days. I'd venture a guess at about 20. The are feeding on the floor
of
the woods and in the garden, and on the patio! What fun! I don't think I've
ever had more than 2 at a time before this.
Also had a female Towhee yesterday. Several Chipping sparrows too.
I just love spring!!
The pair of Carolina wrens still nesting on the front porch. The Cowbirds
have been around though......

Subject: [birders] yard bird behavior
From: Sherri Smith <grackle(AT)umich.edu>
Date: 28 Apr 2008 9:26pm
I have a crow feeding platform on which I put dead mice. (Crows get
to eat mice in crow heaven). Yesterday I saw a small bird working
away at some mouse parts. It turned out to be a nuthatch. He seemed
to eat quite a lot, considering his size.
I too have a sudden influx of very many Blue Jays.
