Love of Birds Across Winter Skies in Cochrane
A birding column narrates a week of sightings in Cochrane featuring pine grosbeaks at an ash tree, redpolls including a hoary variety, a striking snowy owl, a possible great gray owl, and a mourning dove’s return. It notes local species patterns, the joy of identification, and ends with author credits to Mr. Robbins, Medford, at The Country Today.

Jackson County may play key role in preserving rare Kirtland's warbler
Michigan's Kirtland's warbler population declined last fall but remains above urgent danger. Jackson County could host an experimental egg transplant program using chipping sparrows to establish a new flock outside Michigan if needed. Recovery teams monitor habitat, nesting needs, and risks to spread the population beyond its current six-county core.
