February 2001:

14 Feb:  A few Red-winged Blackbirds are back.  If this indicates the advent of spring, then Brown Creepers, White-throated Sparrows, and Northern Flickers successfully overwintered in Dearborn this year.

7 Feb:  A Snowy Owl was seen flying along Rotunda west of Greenfield, near the channelized portion of the Rouge River.

January 2001:

Jan 12:  A Long-eared Owl hit a window and died at the Ford Research and Engineering complex; a bird fitting this description was seen there several days previous.

Jan 11:  A few fruit-eating birds are still around, including a second Hermit Thrush, Yellow-shafted Flicker, and a handful of American Robins.  Food for them is getting scarce.  Song Sparrows seem to have departed, but a few White-throated Sparrows remain.

Jan 1:  Bald Eagles, Brown Creepers, Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, Hermit Thrush, and lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers, but no Canada Geese were found on the Dearborn portion of the Detroit River CBC.  Click on the link for full results.
