Hello  All, 
With all the warm south winds most  people have left the marsh region to the 
birds. This may be a reason to keep on  the look out. The Black Swamp Bird 
Observatory Songbird Migration Monitoring  station caught its first ever Northern 
Shrike in the mist nets at the Navarre  Marsh unit of Ottawa NWR. The bird 
was captured Monday morning and released  after banding, measurements, and 
pictures were taken. The full story,  including a photo, can be viewed on the BSBO 
website _www.bsbobird.org_ (http://www.bsbobird.org/)  by clicking on the 
Bander’s  Blog button.  
The station captured a Loggerhead  this past May and yesterday the Northern 
Shrike. The banding station is on  private First Energy property but if the 
birds are around they can be seen  anywhere in the marsh region around Magee 
Marsh Wildlife Area/ Ottawa NWR/ Crane Creek  State Park. The winds had  been out 
of the South for over a week but there are still interesting birds  around. 
Just goes to prove that the more you are out---the more you  will see! This cold 
front hopefully will bring in other new  birds. 
Enjoy the  Season,
