Adam Byrne just called. He found a White Wagtail at Pte Mouillee at 8:30am this 
morning. saturday 9 April. The bird was initially in Cell 3. He lost it and 
then refound it in the south central portion of Vermet around 9:30 AM at last 
word. 


This is all the info i have at this time.

Good Birding

If i'm not mistaken, this is the 3rd provincial record for "White Wagtail" (Black-backed Wagtail has recently been lumped back with White Wagtail)... And its only minutes from Ontario!!! (Where we have no records)

What a bird !!!!

Some photos of Michigans first two records:

Odd that all 3 recors are now in April???

Here's a link to a map, showing how close that bird is to Ontario:
