County


Hello Birders,

Today at about 3:30 pm, while birding Belle Isle I spotted a lone IMMATURE 
KING EIDER from the end of the South Pier next to the Coast Guard HQ. I 
watched it for 20 minutes. It was spending it's time floating around the 
outskirts of the pier. Spent a little time with a Mallard Pair before 
venturing NW towards Detroit along the shoreline.

Also of interest (to me anyway lol) were a pair of Horned Grebes, Peregrine 
Falcon (resting on the lawn with the Canada Geese, no catch to be seen), 
Cackling Goose, Imm. Black Crowned Nightheron, Bonaparte's gull.

I uploaded a pic of the Eider on the photo sharing site.

Good Birding!
