Subject: Re: [birders] Yellow-headed Blackbirds
Another option where it is very easy to get a close-up look at Yellow-headed Blackbirds - both male and female - is Howard Marsh Metropark, one of the Toledo Metroparks. On the way to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and Magee Marsh on OH Route 2.

They nest in Howard Marsh Metropark, too. As do, Black-neck Stilts.

One spring day at recess, I ventured to a far corner of the playground…the low-spot where stood a seemingly perennial marsh of muck and old Cattails and melting ice and snow. Perhaps it was during a warm snap or after an unusual weather event but…I recall seeing a bird that was new to me just singing his head off. I mentioned it to my teacher but she seemed more concerned about the mud on my shoes. Anyway…I don’t think I’ve ever seen one again here in Michigan. Wiki shows a map with spotty coverage for them here but…are these regulars at LEMP or Point Mouillee?
