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.
