Black-legged Kittiwake - Berrien Co 3/20/05

[Cccta at aol.com]

Listers,
   At 5:00 pm today I had a 1st winter Black-legged Kittiwake flyby at Union 
Pier in Berrien County. It was classic Kittiwake with the big M, dark collar, 
tail stripe and bouncy flight. It was joined by a lone adult Bonaparte's Gull. 
The birds were flying south along the Lake Michigan shoreline and were out of 
sight within about a minute. The overlook at Union Pier is accessible from 
Lakeshore Drive north off Red Arrow Highway just north of New Buffalo. Hopefully 
the bird will join up with the large gull population around New Buffalo/Three 
Oaks.

Good Birding,

Scott Jennex
