Birding at Schlitz Audubon Nature Center

The northward migration is still going on here and there were plenty of warblers in the woods (which are just about two weeks behind the trees at Colton Point SP in Pennsylvania) to prove it. Ran into several American Redstarts that were nesting within a few yards of the trail. Rough water on the lake meant few water fowl up close and personal. (It was also a chilly wind so we didn't hang around the shore much.)

Location: Schlitz Audubon Center
Observation date: 5/27/11
Notes: Beautiful clear, crisp morning. Some wind off Lake Michigan.

Schlitz Audubon Center is a lovely place to go birding. Wish I lived a little closer!
