I spent some time at the Magee causeway on Monday, and so no loons. There were some Double-crested Cormorants swimming with just heads and necks visible, and a few Pie-billed Grebes and many Coots. There were some ducks, but nothing I could see being confused for a loon. I met another guy from Michigan at the boardwalk who said he had spent some time looking for the loons -- including on the lake -- also without success. Of course, they could have been present the day before and flown by the time we arrived. The boardwalk was passerine-poor. The only warblers I saw were many Yellow-rumped and a few Pines. Golden-crowned Kinglets and Rusty Blackbirds were still present, and Blue-grey Gnatcatchers and House Wrens are beginning to appear. There were many Ruby-crowned Kinglets and a fair number of Hermit Thrushes. Aside from a couple of phoebes I didn't see any flycatchers; nor did I see any vireos. There were a lot of ducks on the ponds at the end of Veler Rd., including Northern Pintails and many Northern Shovelers, and both teal.
