Ruddy Turnstones - 06 Jun 2005
0730 Hrs. Clear, sunny, hot, 75ºF. Last day of my vacation, I decided to check out Erie Marsh Preserve in southern Monroe Co. However, traffic on I-75 S was backed up at Luna Pier, so I opted to take the exit and see what was about near the lakeshore.
At the end of the road was a small parking lot with a pier. In the muddy shallows below the pier I saw (7) Ruddy Turnstones and a single Semipalmated Sandpiper. I took tons of pics both with the D70 and digiscoping equipment.

I then stopped by Pt. Mouillee HQ via Campau Road on the way home. Red-winged Blackbirds, Painted Turtles and a Great Blue Heron were the highlights.
