[Mich-listers] White Wagtail

[Caleb Putnam]

All-

To follow up on James's report, Brian Allen just called (2:55PM, 22 April
2011), and had just seen the White Wagtail at 2:45PM on the SE mudflat in
Cell 3. My estimate using Google Maps of this location is
42.00033,-83.191352 (Brian did not give me the coordinates, just a
description). This is one of the normal locations the bird has been using
since the first day it arrived, not a new location.

An aside: please note that I have changed my email address to
caleb.putnam at gmail.com, and will no longer use my hotmail account.

Good Birding,
Caleb Putnam
