I have an opportunity to go looking for Kirtland's Warbler in Michigan
June 28 & 29. However, I have just discovered, via the Internet, that
these just happen to be the days (Mon & Tues) that the US FWS does not
do tours for the warblers. I thought the state also does it's own tours,
but I have not found any info on this so far. My impression is that the
chances are not too good w/o going on a "tour."

So... I was hoping one or more of our widely-traveled Osprey birders
could comment on the likelihood of finding a Kirtland's Warbler w/o
going on a "tour." (For me to do this would involve a big loop of about
2 1/2 days out of Milwaukee.)

Thanks for any comments.
