I spent all of yesterday morning birding three areas in Wayne County. In all areas, migrant songbirds were virtually absent, but breeders were singing well. I started out at 7am walking *Messner Rd* through the marsh in the Killbuck WA. Four prothonotary warblers were singing loudly and seen well. A cooperative marsh wren showed himself singing right along the road. Four red-headed woodpeckers were seen, as were four green herons. Willow and great crested flycatchers were common. I had 29 species in the first hour. Next I walked through *Wright Marsh* in the Killbuck WA. An E. meadowlark was singing in the first field, as were several swamp sparrows in fields further in. A green heron was perched high in a dead snag. Willow flycatchers were singing everywhere, as were some great crested and wood peewees. Yellow warblers and common yellowthroats were abundant, but no other warblers were heard. Again, a marsh wren was very cooperative, singing in the open near the trail. The only waterfowl were Canada geese and a few mallards and coots. I recorded 36 species in an hour. I then went to *Shreve Lake*, which is now mostly drained and has a lot of shorebird habitat. There was a one flock of shorebirds wheeling around in the sky that settled down within reasonable scope distance. It was a mixed flock of about 50 or so birds with about 20 dunlin, about a dozen each of semipalm plovers and least sandpipers, and 4-6 white-rumped sandpipers. Fortunately, at least two of those were preening, showing their white rumps nicely. Other than a few great blue herons, that was all that was there. Moving over to *Wilderness Rd* near Funk Bottoms, I found that the peat pits there were pretty well filled up with water now, leaving very limited shorebird habitat. The only shorebird I found were two spotted sandpipers. I did see one immature bald eagle and four sandhill cranes at the far end, but that was all of interest. For the morning, I had 57 species on my list and it was a joy to be afield on such a nice morning.
