Michigan Birding

[Bill]

At the end of March I was in Michigan for a little while. I got out one morning to bird with my cousins who are also avid birders ;D.

I picked up 9 life birds in what they considered a "slow" day. Anything that flew was a life bird for me!

Here is the list:
(* indicates life bird)

*Red Shouldered Hawk
*Tufted Titmouse
Chipping Sparrow
*Northern Cardinal
*Common Grackle
*Eastern Bluebird
*Field Sparrow
*Wild Turkey
Junco
Coopers Hawk
Morning Dove
*Red-Bellied Woodpecker
*Eastern Towhee



Field Sparrow



Eastern Bluebird

While driving back to the airport, I was looking out the window and saw this looking back at me. I had time so we stopped to get a picture!



I think it is a young Great Horned Owl?

Wonderful list, super photos! Love that Owl. It sure looks like a Great Howned Owlet to us!
