A rare Kirtland's warbler was spotted on west campus this morning by a student walking along Kinnear Road on his way to main campus. A good ear alerted him that there was a Kirtland's warbler flitting about on the 900 block of Kinnear road. He put the word out and it didn't take long for birders to flock to the area to get a good look at this very rare bird.
Kirtland's warblers are amongst the rarest species in North America, and one can usually only see it in a very small area of northern Michigan. It was quite nice for this singing male to pay our campus a visit. This is a life bird for my list, and very welcome, indeed.
