[Mich-listers] Pointe Mouillee 9/9/09

[Karl Overman]

Sue Wright and I peddled around Pointe Mouillee this morning.  Water  
levels seemed to be up somewhat in the Vermet Unit perhaps only  
because of recent rains.  Sue picked out two Marbled Godwits far out  
at the south end of the water in the center of the Vermet Unit.  We  
had one Knot in the NE portion of the Vermet Unit.  We had seven  
White Pelicans--three in the Vermet Unit and 4 in cell 3.  Golden  
Plover numbered 58 in cell 3 plus one more at least in the Vermet  
Unit.  One Baird's Sandpiper was on the flats in cell 3.  I did not  
see any dowitchers nor Stilt Sandpipers. An American Pipit landed on  
the boulders on the side of the Banana at the Vermet Unit.

Cheers,
