Serious yardbirding has been sparse for me for due to a lot of juggling irons right now, the most interesting was salvaging from a 1860's house that got demolished yesterday to feed a 1940's house that Chris and I closed on Monday. It will be a year before the transition to the new yard is complete but I think it's going to be a HUGO improvement over the Swamp Lair. No more Calidris sp. for this sucker.

Ice - out
Wandered out to the platform last night to watch the sunset and upon arriving had a Short-eared Owl flying over giving me the look (and the third straight migrations season!). Pretty quiet after that, though the whirling of goldeneye wings was conspicuous in the dark. Little Bay de Noc ice went out April 11th. Added a spur of nice yardbirds this week including NOPI, AMBI, AMWI, and RUBL.

Curiosity is killing me. Can you email me a picture of "The Platform"? Was it built for birding, partying, or both? Did the HOA approve? pancaminando AT hotmail.com
