big movement, Manistee co. Sept 7th

[Brian A]

On Sunday mornning I had the biggest  migrant concentration I have seen for the entire year including May.  In an hour and a half on foot along the trails in a small park on Andy's Point (North Point Park) on the north side of Portage Lake in Manistee County I had close to 60 species including 14 species of warblers, an early Pine Siskin, a late Black-billed Cuckoo, several Empidonax flycatchers.  It was a morning where I had a difficult time chosing which group of birds to watch, they were very active and all over the area.  In contrast the area I checked earlier in the morning near Bear Lake was extremely quiet.
