Summary
The May 2008 Beaver Beacon nature column recorded spring observations of herons, hummingbirds, swans, loons, ducks, geese, buffleheads, mergansers, gulls, and cormorants around Beaver Island’s shoreline, harbor, wetlands, and lakes. It combines seasonal observation with a personal account of the Island’s bird life.
Evidence limits
This is a first-person nature column, not a bird census, species inventory, banding record, or calibrated ecological survey.
