Backyard Feeder

In Ottawa County we have birds. And one can hear the birds because of low environmental noise from things like planes, cars, factories, etc. These are some shots taken the first week we had a feeder in the yard. From never having a feeder, our first Oriole arrived in 20 minutes of setting out the food. Try it.

Migration Time at Magee Marsh

Thousands of Birders again descend on Ottawa County and Magee Marsh. For a short couple week period, major song birds in Spring plumage will move through the county and stop at Magee Marsh on the way. If you stop by, you will see license plates from all over the U.S., very interesting big cameras, sound recording equipment, listening devices, and many very knowledgeable people.
