Saturday was a beautiful day for auto touring. The section south of the area 4 sign was most productive, with the Bobolinks, Dickcissel, Henslow Sparrow and Sedge Wren either seen or heard. Had great looks at a Sedge Wren on the causeway. At Oak openings I saw Lark Sparrows on both Girdham Rd. and Wilkins Rd. The Summer Tanager was a great highlight. Location: Ottawa NWR (Ottawa Co.)
