RFI - Birding sites around Ludington, Mason County

[Bruce M. Bowman]

Christopher-

You might want to buy _A Birder's Guide to Michigan_, by Allen Chartier 
and Jerry Ziarno, before you come.  See info at 
http://www.umich.edu/~bbowman/birds/books_mi.html

There's not time for you to get it from the ABA, but you should be able 
to find it at Border's, Barnes & Noble, The Little Professor, 
Waldenbooks, etc.--probably in Pennsylvania, but if not, then in 
Michigan.  Or maybe the ABA or Amazon would ship it express and get it to 
you in time.

> Dear Birders,

> My family and I are coming from Pennsylvania to Ludington, Michigan next
> week, and I am hoping to add to my newly-started North American life list.
> I am especially interested in birds that may be difficult or uncommon to
> see in PA like Northern Shrike, Snowy Owl, Bohemian Waxwing, or Snow
> Bunting, as well as wintering ducks like Long-tailed Duck and Red-breasted
> Merganser. I don't know how feasible some of these are, but I would
> appreciate knowing locations near Ludington where I could look for some of
> them. If you know of any other good birding locations in the area, I would
> also be pleased to know of them.

> Thanks, and good birding,
