probable Mountain Bluebird St Clair Co 4-2

[Cccta@aol.com]

All,
 
Just got home from viewing an apparent MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD along with Glen  
Belyea, Adam Byrne and Brad Murphy in the vicinity of the  Cornerstone Church in 
Clyde, just north and west of Port Huron. The bird was  initially discovered 
Saturday by Tom Dennis from Blue Water Audubon and  posted on their listserv.
 
   This is not an adult male! The "mountain bluebird blue" is clearly visible 
in  the wings, tail and rump. The breast is a buffy/earthy color that moves 
into  gray on the sides and back. Looks very different in assorted positions 
relative  to the light. There is no hint of the chestnut/orange of Eastern  
Bluebird.
 
directions  from Tom 
"The  Cornerstone Church property is at 4025 North Road, Clyde,  MI  48049. 
This is at the West end of  Krafft  Rd. which intersects M25 on the Northern 
border of  Port Huron.  The bird has been in the North parking lot and across 
the road  to the East" We also had the bird in the marshy area directly in front 
of the  church building.
 
Hope you see it!
 
Scott Jennex
