Congressman John D. Dingell and Wayne County Executive Robert A. Ficano

at Wayne County’s Refuge Gateway.
Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 10am
Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Gateway
5437 West Jefferson Avenue
Trenton, Michigan 48183
For more information contact John Hartig (John_Hartig(AT)fws.gov) or Becca

Directions: Please enter the Refuge Gateway on the east side of West
Jefferson Avenue, between the intersections of Van Horn and Vreeland in
Trenton, Michigan. The entrance gate is directly south of a Solutia plant

Please dress appropriately for this outdoor event.
Project Description: The Monguagon Creek Daylighting and Wetland
Restoration Project has recreated six acres of wetlands in an area that
has lost 97% of its coastal wetlands to development and has improved the
quality of urban stormwater as it enters the Detroit River through the
creation of a stormwater basin and lake plain prairie wetland. These site
features help to naturally filter stormwater flowing from Monguagon Creek
and help restore the natural hydrology of the Refuge Gateway and adjacent
Monguagon Delta. Additional benefits include wildlife habitat creation
and opportunities for hands-on environmental education and natural
resource interpretation.

Catherine,
What a great blog! I love your writing and photos. I hope everyone
takes a peek.
I'm shocked you were able to see a Phainopepla in Ontario. If you
hadn't seen a single other bird, that would have made the entire trip
worthwhile.

Subject: [birders] Snowy Owl in St. Clair County
From: Pat Burden <tallerpat(AT)aol.com>

Sorry for the late post, but a friend of mine reported seeing a Snowy Owl=
this past weekend in our area (northern St. Clair County). He took a pho=
to of it with his cell phone and there is no doubt it is a Snowy Owl. Fro=
m his description and the photo (which was from a distance and not a wonde=
rful photo), I believe it was an adult owl as it had very few black markin=
gs. I was not told about the Owl until today, however he now has my cell=
number programmed into his phone and has been given instructions to call=
me immediately if he sees one again. This owl was seen sitting on a fenc=
epost behind a cow barn on the north side of M-19 on the section that is=
also known as Wilkes Rd. (just west of Emmett Rd.) It will be interestin=
g to see whether this turns out to be an "owly" winter.
