On Saturday May 14th, Katie Koch, my dad and I did a Big Day in the U.P. We started at Peninsula Point (PP) on the lake Michigan shoreline. On the way into are first spot we heard and saw Field Sparrows, Vesper Sparrow, Bobolink, Savannah Sparrow and two fly-over Common Loons. We had a a few decent birds at PP including Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Buntings, Orange-Crowned Warbler and Baltimore Oriole's.

From there we went to Ogontz Bay. We had Yellow Warbler, Canvasback, both Scaup, Redhead and Common Goldeneye. After that we headed to Seney and saw Trumpeter Swans, Ring-Necked Ducks and Hooded Merganser's. We were going to head to WPBO but were told it wasn't worth the drive so we headed back to Marquette. We found a pretty good warbler flock in Marquette with the Highlights being 3 Black-Throated Blue Warblers, Tennessee Warbler and an Adult and Owlet Great Horned Owls.
