March 26 saw an influx of migrants, most notably American Robins, blackbirds, and several types of sparrows. There were also good numbers of ducks on Lake Michigan, particularly Red-breasted Mergansers, and a few ducks moving north. This happens every spring when we get warm fronts and south winds. I tallied 46 species in a little less than 2 hours of effort, including a number of first of seasons. My highlights<\/p>\n

Blue-winged Teal – 11
\nNorthern Shoveler – 4
\nAmerican Wigeon – 5
\nRing-necked Duck – 4
\nWhite-winged Scoter – 8
\nCaspian Tern – 1
\nCommon Loon – 4
\nMerlin – 1
\nGolden-crowned Kinglet – 4
\nBrown Creeper – 1
\nFox Sparrow – 10<\/p>\n

This will be my last bird report or blog post from Montrose for a while. See the post immediately above for the reason why.<\/p>\n
