Purple Sandpiper, Bohemian Waxwing Allegan/Ottawa Cos.1-2-08

[Wildbirders]

As Rick mentions, a single *Bohemian Waxwing* was seen just south of 
Tunnel Park in Ottawa County, in Sunset Bluffs, which is about 0.5 miles 
south of Tunnel Park. The bird was seen with a flock of Cedar Waxwings 
near the intersection of  Sunset Bluff Dr, which leads west from 
Lakeshore Drive, and Timbercrest Drive. According to Street Atlas, the 
coordinates would be about N42.79102°, W86.20537.

Other birds of note were a *Wood Duck* in the Channel at Holland State 
Park. We had no Long-tailed Ducks at this location.

Good Birding,

Carl Manning
Holland, MI
