Observation details
Stopped here to try to get a look at the old quarry pond (this quarry is no longer in use and is apparently undergoing habitat restoration under Ducks Unlimited) for shorebirds (habitat looks good but hard to see anything from the road) and was sure I heard a BLGR. Decided to climb the fence to investigate and much to my surprise found a pair and then another singing male singing simultaneously from the North edge of the quarry. Can definitely be heard (albeit distantly) from the gate but unfortunately decent looks likely require trespassing. Might be worth contacting Ducks Unlimited to try to arrange access as it seems an interesting site. Either way very excited to see these birds holding territory at a new location for Washtenaw County!
