As the rain was letting up at my office in Interlocken this morning, a Western Wood-Pewee flitted about. Once I had the opportunity to get out of the office for a bit, I walked this very short drainage along my office and had birds galore. Later in the day, Doug Faulkner and Brad Steger observed many birds as well along this approximately 300 yard long drainage. Following is a list of birds we had that do not breed in the vicinity of our office: Olive-sided Flycatcher Western Wood-Pewee (6-8) Cedar Waxwing Yellow Warbler (5-6) Townsend's Warbler BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER Wilson's Warbler (24) MacGillivray's Warbler Black-headed Grosbeak Western Tanager (2) Lark Sparrow (2) Brewer's Sparrow (some). I hope others were able to get out today and enjoy the first big push of grounded migrants this fall.
