Birders,

Migrating shorebirds are still coming throught the Muskegon Wastewater.
Yesterday along the north shore of the west lagoon, in the  farthest west
areator cell and/or in  the E4  infiltration basin  there were  white-rumped
sandpipers, semipalmated plovers and semip sandpipers and Wilson's
phalaropes. One non-breeding plumaged, black-bellied  plover was feeding
along the north shore of the west lagoon. It was skittish but gave some good
looks through the scope before flying off calling once.

Dickcissels were in the C infiltration basin area (shallow grassy cells
along south side of White Road west of the HQ bldg) that are on the
wastewater north of Apple and also in the section south of Apple Ave along
Laketon.  Grasshopper sparrows were coming out into the road and singing
from the tops of grass stalks along Laketon west of White Rd.
