Birding with our group

May 18-19, 2019

We met our group of birders today in Detroit. We are a group of six including our guide, David.  We spent the day at some parks around Detroit and saw some cool birds that we don’t see in the west. We don’t have many photos from Saturday, but some birds we saw are:  Eastern Bluebird, Red-headed Woodpecker,  Baltimore Oriole,  some beautiful warblers and my favorite, the Scarlet Tanager.

After looking for birds most of the day, we traveled to our hotel in Oregon, Ohio. Sunday morning began at the famous (to birders) Magee Marsh on the shores of a Lake Erie. 

Our group minus Tim who took the photo
There were many crazy birders there trying to get a glimpse of all the birds feeding away as they get prepared for there migration journey across Lake Erie. Most of the birds flit around so fast that it is very hard to photograph. My favorite birds of the day were the Magnolia Warbler and the Blackburnian Warbler.
