This morning, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard from about 6:15am to 9:00am. I was joined by Pete Marchetto for a good portion of the morning. While there, I was pleased to see several other area birders in the hawthorns enjoying what the place has to offer. Throughout the morning, I saw or met up with

Hi all, I made a lunch-hour run to the Hawthorn Orchard, hoping the excellent variety of songbirds would be active in between rain showers. I was not disappointed (who could be?): when I arrived just after noon there was a cacophony of warbler song as I entered the northeast section of the orchar

On a lunchtime dog-walk along the green way connecting the Northwood Apartments complex with Graham Road in Lansing, I came across a loudly singing MOURNING WARBLER in the thick brambles along the north side of the path. Also singing in the area were Canada Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, and a Che

After reading Steve's mallard story, I thought I'd relay my own incident. On Saturday I was washing my lawn tractor when I heard the flapping of wings, stood up to look and just as quickly ducked for 3 incoming mallards. Two veered right to avoid me while the third braked but kept on flying. T
