Lapeer Red-throated Loon, Shrike & Pine Grosbeak 11-18

[Cccta at aol.com]

Listers,
 
Finally got to chase the Red-throated Loon at Holloway Reservoir and found  
it easily with the previously posted directions. In the vicinity I also had a  
pair of Common Redpolls in Genesee Co at the feeders in front of 11447 Mt 
Morris  Rd. 
 
I was able to relocate the juvie Northern Shrike north of Columbiaville  near 
Marathon Rd & Barnes Lake Rd. Further east off Barnes Lake Rd is one of  the 
Lapeer State Game Area entrances on Snow Den Trail/Rd. This I am told is a  
traditional spot to find Pine Grosbeak during irruption years and today I did  
just that. Be aware this is a pretty active deer hunting location.
 
Rounding out the fun in Lapeer County I stopped by the Vlassic Ponds on  
Newark Rd 1 mile west of M-53 on the south side of Imlay City. There were 3  
Cackling Geese with the pile of Canadas. I have not been to this spot on a  
week/work day but on weekend days you can see about half of the ponds from the  gate 
on the south side of the complex.
 
Where are the Bohemians?
