Updated endangered and threatened bird species in the State of Michigan

Julie Craves has just posted (Sept. 1, 2023) on her Net Results blog the updated list for endangered and threatened bird species list for Michigan.

Above: Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), photo taken at Nichols Arboretum on Thursday, 08/31/2023.  Though I've heard one or two singing at various times last spring, this is the first wood thrush I've seen this year.  New on the species of special concern list.

I think everyone should take a good look at this list.  Many of the listed birds are going to surprise a lot of birders.
