Migrants are flooding into the county - many species of warblers and shorebirds have been observed over the past few days.
Upland sandpiper, Baltimore oriole, Rose-breasted grosbeak, Chipping sparrows, Harriers, Bobolink, Meadowlark, Brown thrasher, sparrows, etc. are all visible from my deck. Lots of ducks in Lake Huron and the inland lakes. There are at least 24 Great egrets on nests on Chantry Island. Many species have started nesting.
