No there’s definitely a good amount. I’ve just not seen anything but juvenile ones that I could identify. I’ve only been in to birding since the summer really so my sample size is still pretty small.

That sounds awesome. I just use my iPhone and hold my monocular up to it.

I got to see crows mobbing a peregrine falcon today in my yard so that was pretty exciting.

My wife calls these the “Guy Fieri” of birds.

Sandhill Cranes. Kensington Metro Park in Milford, Mi.

I was at a Metropark where a lot of people visit the bird trails with seed in their pocket, so I think it’s familiarity.

Are those native to Germany?

It’s just a monocular and my iPhone 13, the lack of sunlight helped my cause I think.

Bushnell Legend 10x42mm Ultra High Definition Monocular is my scope. I love it.

I’ve been looking for those all the past 2 months. Got to see some hooded merganser’s instead though so I can’t complain.

I miss all the fly catchers

I still haven’t been to Stoney. I grew up downriver so I spent more time at Erie and Willow.

I don’t mind paying. Macomb county is ugly so it’s nice to have a little slice of nature and I’ll support that. It does wonders for my sanity.

The Ford House is a really nice spot for birding too.

We’ve been having a Cooper’s Hawk visit our yard lately, my wife and I have been loving it.

I’m always on the look out for Kestrel’s too.
