25 Dec:  The Gray Catbird made another appearance today.

24 Dec:  Remarkable for winter was a Gray Catbird today in the Craves yard.  On campus, an American Black Duck on the Rouge River was a good find, as they have been increasingly rare in the last few years.  Also found was a Brown Creeper and two Yellow-shafted Flickers.

17 Dec:  A flock of 65 Snow Geese flew over Dearborn Heights.

4 Dec: A Fox Sparrow was found in an east Dearborn yard today.

November:

23 Nov:  Another Northern Saw-whet Owl is banded, and while out at 1:30 AM checking the nets, the banders heard a Sora calling on our lake.

12 Nov:  Many Slate-colored Juncos banded today, including one originally banded on 14 Nov 2001.  A group of 10-12 Bonaparte's Gulls were at the Ford air conditioning ponds on Village Road in west Dearborn.
