Where in Michigan might I see Kirtland’s Warbler and what are the best dates to go?


Thanks for the question, Laurie in Detroit, MI

Answer:

Given the good news (from a Michigan DNR news release from September, 2008) that Kirtland’s Warbler populations are at an all-time high of 1,791 singing males, your chances of detecting them are excellent. Most of the population nests in 12 lower Michigan counties within central-northcentral Michigan (Alcona, Clare, Crawford, Grand Traverse, Iosco, Kalkaska, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, and Roscommon) and five upper Michigan counties (Chippewa, Delta, Luce, Marquette, and Schoolcraft). (However, nine individuals were detected in WI in 2008 and one in Ontario.).

The initial two weeks of June are the ideal time to visit the Kirtland’s breeding grounds, but a later visit through the first week of July could also yield viewing results.

Note that guided tours to view the Kirtland’s Warbler leave from various locations. To find out the schedule, contact the DNR Wildlife Division, Natural Heritage Program, Box 30180, Lansing, MI 48909, or visit the DNR Web site: www.michigan.gov/dnr.

I drop a comment whenever I appreciate a post on a site
or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the
discussion. Usually it is triggered by the fire communicated in the article I
looked at. And after this article "Where in Michigan might I see Kirtland's Warbler and what are the best dates to go?".

I was moved enough to drop a commenta response ;) I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if it's okay. Is it just me or does it give the impression like some of these comments come across like left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on additional places, I would like to follow you. Could you list the complete urls of all your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
