Montcalm and Clinton county birding

[Parula100@aol.com]

I did some county birding today in Montcalm and Clinton Counties. I had 75  
species in the morning in-between cloudbursts in Montcalm County  before the 
rain finally drove me away. The highlight was a singing Cerulean  Warbler 
southeast of Greenville in extreme southern Montcalm County. I heard it  from a 
bridge on Grow Road (AKA 585 in DeLorme) about 2/3 mile north of South  County 
Line Road.
 
I found a Dickcissel singing in the rain in Clinton County in a field on  the 
south side of Taft Road between Wacousta Road and Forest Hill Road.
 
Unexpected (at least to me) was an active Great Blue Heron  rookery on a 
county-owned wetland in Montcalm County on Vickeryville Road  between Cole Road 
and Fenwick Road. Just northwest of that area, south of  Pickerel Lake, I had an 
Alder and a Willow Flycatcher singing from the same  field.
