Friday, the 10th we had the day off of school. So, I decided to count Waterbirds at black rocks in Marquette. It was a slow day day with 163 bird migrating by in a 4 Hour period.

Red Necked Grebes

Saturday, the 11th I did another waterbird Count at a location about 200 Yards away from black rocks. With a total of 1,218 birds migrating past it was way better than the previous day. Due to the distance of many of these ducks they had to be left unidentified. For a checklist of the birds I counted, check out this link. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S20198206

Northern Pintail

Winter Wren

Red Breasted Mergansers

Peregrine Falcon

Sunday, two American White Pelicans were seen in the Marquette Lower Harbor. When we got there they were exactly where they were said to be. They gave me some nice photo opportunities.

I birded more sunday at Presque Isle in Marquette but was unable to find anything unusual.

Awesome. When I leave town the cool birds show. What are the identifying characteristics of your peregrine photo? I think you should submit your favorite pelican photo to the paper. People are not aware Mqt. Gets pelicans. U will be doing a service to the birds. Great job. Luv ya. Dad

Hi Alec,
Looks like you had a pretty good week-end of birding!! I really enjoyed all of the photos, the American White Pelican & Peregrine Falcon were great. You're right up there with the best birders around - keep at it & you'll go far.

It looks like he is claiming that the mummy sarcophagus can't be dated later than 125 CE and thus it follows that the cartonnage must contain 1st century papyri. I am interested in knowing why this cut-off date for the mummy is so certain.
