December 1999:29 Dec: A lone Pine Siskin was with goldfinch feeding in the alder trees along Fairlane Lake today. Among the campus Canada Geese is one with a white bib-shaped neck collar that has been around since late October; this male was banded as a two-year-old in 1994 in Maryland, rather unusual for around here. Two Carolina Wrens were also found, plus one that appeared yesterday in the Craves yard. The Fox Sparrow was also still present.
27 Dec: A Fox Sparrow shows up in the Craves yard.
23 Dec: A lingering Hermit Thrush has been seen the last two days in the Craves yard in Springwells Park.
22 Dec: The White-winged Crossbill was last seen 13 Dec. A few White-throated and Song Sparrows remain on campus, along with two Brown Creepers. A Common Grackle with a droopy wing remains in the Springwells Park neighborhood (although it can fly).
10 Dec: Still a few Yellow-rumped Warblers around, plus a Brown Creeper. The White-winged Crossbill is staying put as well.
8 Dec: A flock of 18 Snow Buntings was seen near Greenfield Road and Butler, near the Ford Rouge Plant. The White-winged Crossbill continues at a Dearborn feeder, and there is still at least one White-throated Sparrow present on campus.
6 Dec: A little snow, and here's what you get: a Rough-legged Hawk cruising over campus and a male White-winged Crossbill at a feeder near Rotunda and Outer Drive.Interested in receiving updates on the bird sightings at UM-Dearborn via e-mail? Contact Julie Craves .
