[Mich-listers] Muskegon Waste Water

[Karl Overman]

Robert Epstein and I paid a visit to the Muskegon Waste Water  
facility.  We got our yearly passes there though I fail to see why  
they needed my driver's license number and my membership number for  
any environmental organization I belonged to.  As for shorebirds,  
there was a good number and a good variety, almost all in one cell on  
the north side of the dike one drives along on the north end of the  
lagoons.  Here are some of the birds we had there:

1 Great Egret
14 Black Duck
500 plus Shoveler
1 Peregrine
2 American Avocet
25 Semipalmated Plover
1 Willet
70 Lesser Yellowlegs
Least Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
30 Baird's Sandpiper
12 Pectoral Sandpiper
1 Buff-breasted Sandpiper
7 Stilt Sandpiper
