Fwd: Rock Wren at Sand Point

[Allen Chartier]

Birders,

Sand Point is in Alger County in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, but I have no more specific information on the location of the bird.

I have been sent three photos by Amanda Ingraham, all of which clearly show a Rock Wren, and hopefully these photos will be posted somewhere public soon.

  Hello all,

  I'm rather new to the birdnet, but have certainly been enjoying all the reports!  I've never really known when a find is good enough to report, but I'm fairly certain this one may interest some of you (I hope!). 

  I was looking for some of the longspurs here, and instead flushed up a smallish bird....  It found a low perch and started...bouncing (ok, so it's feet didn't leave the ground but you get the idea)!  It wasn't like a sandpiper bobbing -- it was a full-body down-up motion.  Before I got my binoc's locked on it, though, it flew down below a mini sand ledge and away, and I lost it. 

  I finally moved on, and was elated to see it again, on the wood structures by the Maritime house.  That time I got some good looks!  I ran home, grabbed my camera and got several good ID pics (thank goodness it was still there)!  I'll send some to the website...or let me know if I should attach them to another email.

  Other notables here this morning -- 3 Bonaparte's gulls, 3-4 horned grebes, 7-8 red-necked grebes, 10+ buffleheads, and more ducks that I just couldn't ID. 

  Happy birding!
  Amanda Ingraham
