Tricolored Heron & more, Pointe Moo

[Neil Gilbert]

Hello,

This morning John Gilbert, Will Webber and I birded Point Mouillee State
Game Area. Here are some of the birds we found:

Tricolored Heron - We saw the bird from the middle causeway flying low over
the Long Pond Unit. It was being harassed by blackbirds. It dropped into the
Vermet Unit and out of sight - we couldn't relocate it.

Bufflehead - One female in the Vermet Unit

American Bittern - One in the Vermet Unit

Dunlin - Three in Cell 3

Sedge Wren - One in the Bloody Run Unit

Black Tern - 30-40 flying in the Vermet and Long Pond Unit.

Great Black-backed Gull - Cell 4

Some other interesting observations included American Wigeon, Redhead,
Canvasback, Ruddy Duck, Lesser Scaup, Black-crowned Night-herons and Least
Bittern.

Good birding,

Neil Gilbert
