Remarks:
On the route map above, legs 1 and 2 are located at the same spot (leg 1 just at the dock, leg 2 leaving dock and ending at marker 3), and because of this marker 2 is hidden.
This outing was organized by Michigan Audubon Society and was aboard the Par-Te-Tyme, a 60 foot, double deck vessel operated by Captain Hook Charter/ Par-Te-Tyme Cruises. This boat accommodated nicely the 40 birders for this outing and provided a relatively stable platform for birding.
