Michigan Bird Photos - inc Kirtland's Warbler!

The final leg of my three-state tour took me up through Michigan. My main reason for heading here was to connect with Kirtland's Warbler, a species I'd studied at University and was very keen to see. There was also the added bonus of getting in on some owl ringing (banding) which wasn't an opportunity I wanted to miss.

Trip report will follow when I get time.
