I hit Lk. St. Clair Metropark this morning... I birded with Kevin Rysiewski for most of the morning... There were a few Dunlin and Least Sandpipers on the beach... a flyover of a Green Heron... The woods were surprisingly active... we had 15 Warbler species with highlight being a Mourning Warbler behind the Nature Center... we also found a Black-billed Cuckoo on the meadow loop trail which was approachable... The leaf cover is very thick, so patience is needed.... Canada, N Parula, Am Redstart, Chestnut-sided, Black-thr Green, Black and White, Yellow, Wilson's and Blackburnian are some of the other Warblers... Eastern Wood Pewees and Great Crested Flycatchers called from overhead and there were a good number of Swainson's Thrush... I also visited Macomb Corners Park yesterday evening and there were Semipalmated Plovers, Least Sandpipers, Solitary Sandpipers and Least and Willow Flycatchers (198) calling around the marsh/pond.... click on photos to enlarge.
