Steve,
Paula and I were in Michigan over Memorial day. We attended a US Fish and
Wildlife tour out
of the Holiday Inn in Grayling, MI. Went on the first tour in the morning,
7:00 AM. Heard four Kirkland's
Warblers singing, and found three of them in the scope.
Also, we drove the self guided tour through jack pine habitat. We did hear
two Kirkland's Warblers
singing from the tour route, but the were back off the road and we never got
to see them. With luck, you
could see one from this route.
Call and see if US Fish and Wildlife is having a tour from Grayling. The
Holiday Inn there is nice.
Good Birding,
