Subject: [birders] White Pelicans and more at Pt. Moo.
From: "Charles Owens" <vinblue(AT)cass.net>
Date: 11 Jul 2009 5:08pm
While walking the Moo this morning, yes during the thunderstorm, I found
a total of 9 White Pelicans in the Vermet unit. Also at the Moo was a
single Whimbrel, Least and American Bittern, Black Terns, Solitary
Sandpipers and hundreds of Yellowlegs, both lesser and greater.
It took me a total of five hours to walk the dike system and on my way
out 5 of the Pelicans were still there
from the little town where the sky meets the corn,

Subject: [birders] Pinckney SRA, ect.
From: "James Fox" <93fox(AT)earthlink.net>
Date: 11 Jul 2009 8:57pm
I went camping at Pinckney SRA for the last three days. Birding was
pretty good considering that it was July. Highlights at Pinckney were
Yellow-throated Vireo (several), Acadian Flycatcher ( ±4), Veery (±6),
Hooded Warbler (1-2), and Barred Owl (2). All of these birds were found
near the Crooked Lake Campground. I also stopped at Stinchfield Woods for
about about an hour and found two Blue-headed Vireos near the north
entrance. Other highlights were Hooded, Black-throated Green, and Pine
Warblers, Ovenbird and Acadian Flycatcher. I also stopped by a friend's
house south of Chelsea on Washburne Rd., I saw several Dickcissels and
Grasshopper Sparrows and heard one or two Northern Bobwhites. These birds
can probably be found on Washburne Rd. between Sharon Hollow and Jason
Roads.

Oops! I forgot to mention that I posted a few pictures of the Dickcissels
on my Flickr site <http://www.flickr.com/photos/22374475@N07/>. I also would
appreciate help on identifying a skipper
that I took a picture of, I think that it's a Cloudy Wing but am not sure
if it is a Northern or Southern.
