Summary
From April 9 through April 20, 2020, Pam Grassmick and other forum participants shared observations of Beaver Island’s spring bird migration. The thread described sightings at places including Little Sand Bay, Sand Bay, Miller’s Marsh, Font Lake, Barney’s Lake, and Green’s Lake, and noted that the 2020 Warblers on the Water events had been canceled during the health crisis.
Evidence limits
The thread is a useful contemporaneous record of community observations, but it is not a standardized survey, population estimate, or independently verified species inventory. The archived attachments do not establish a formal photographic or scientific verification record.
