A Pacific Loon showed up during the waterbird count today. Adam and Phil reported it was a foggy and rainy day; but the shorebirds were good along with the loon.
3/5 of the WPBO field staff (John, Sarah, Myself) spend the day in Grayling on a Kirtland's Warbler tour, which was very successful. The rain held off (mostly) and we got some great looks at a wonderful bird.
The season is coming to a close soon, but there's still time for things to show up, and there's still Bird-a-thon-ing to be done!

I'm a 2008 graduate in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona and then spent two seasons working as a bird guide on St. Paul Island in Alaska; but this year I decided to see what the Lower 48 had to offer me so here I am in a slightly warmer location looking for basically the same birds (minus the alcids and vagrants but plus the owls and warblers).
I've been an avid birder since I was a little kid and hopefully I've learned enough in those years to hold my own with all of you brave enough to sit out on the point with me this Fall!
