Drove across the state this morning to the shores of Lake Huron unsuccessfully chasing a Fork-tailed Flycatcher. According to more punctual birders I missed the Fork-tail by 2 hours. In the three hours that I searched for the target bird I saw some more pedestrian neotropic migrants.

| Northern Parula |

| Blackburnian Warbler |
 |
| Indigo Bunting |
 |
| Rose-breasted Grosbeak |
Of course a late report from Marc North this evening reveals that the Forktailed Flycatcher has been refound in Tawas State Park. I think that I'm living on the wrong side of the state because while I was over on the sunrise side a Painted Bunting was found in the same (Iosco) county and in nearby Bay County a Laughing Gull, a Eurasian Wigeon as well as both Marble and Hudsonian Godwits were found.
