A full trip report of 10days in Ohio, with a couple of days in Michigan, in early-mid May can be seen here: http://www.birdersplayground.co.uk/...ip%20Report.pdf
and a full set of images can be found on my website here: http://www.birdersplayground.co.uk/...ome%20Page.html
Wonderful images and report! I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY and have been to Pelee but never visited Crane Creek because at that time, its amazing birding wasnt so well known. Another reason, I didnt travel so much during May is because at that time of year, the birding is also great in western New York.
Now, however, I find myself yearning to bird Crane Creek each May. I wouldnt get any lifers but the hordes of wood-warblers, orioles, buntings, tanagers, and other migrants in full breeding plumage and song would make the trip worth it.
Brilliant photos. I have put your report on my favourites so I can re read it at leisure.
Thanks for making me aware of a great birding place. Certainly a possible future destination.
