Kirtland’s warbler census shows once-endangered songbird continues to thrive

State and federal agencies and droves of volunteers have partnered to count Michigan’s Kirtland’s warbler population.

The agencies recently announced that surveys conducted in June show the small songbirds have continued to flourish since their October 2019 removal from the federal list of endangered species.

“The power of partnership continues to yield excellent results for the Kirtland’s warbler after coming off the endangered species list,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Director Charlie Wooley. “Recovery of this beloved species required a strong, creative set of partners, and that spirit continues into the future with agencies, organizations and private entities working together locally, nationally and internationally. I’m confident this strong partnership will secure the long-term future of this bird.”

With the June survey results now tallied, the Kirtland’s warbler global population is estimated at 2,245 pairs, which is more than double the 1,000-pair recovery goal for the species – which has been exceeded over each of the past 20 years.

Researchers survey nesting areas, listening for singing males advertising and defending nesting territories. Each male found is presumed to have a mate, so the number of males also indicates the number of pairs.

Kirtland’s warblers build nests on the ground, only in young, dense stands of jack pine in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario. This habitat was historically created by large wildfires. Today, wildfires are suppressed, and the nesting habitat is created by harvesting mature jack pine and planting jack pine seedling in the logged areas. Read more

Michigan: Gaylord Man Sent to Prison After Years of DNR Related Violations

A Gaylord man was recently convicted in Otesego County Circuit Court on several charges ranging from wildlife and felony weapons violations to third-offense drunken driving and being a habitual offender.

Cecil Edward Day Jr., 56, is currently serving up to 7 1/2 years in state prison for his involvement in three separate incidents that Michigan Department of Natural Resources conservation officers have been investigating since 2018.

“This individual was a thief of our natural resources,” said Sgt. Mark DePew, Michigan DNR Law Enforcement Division, who led the investigations. “Our officers’ teamwork should be a lesson to those who seek to steal fish and game from the citizens of this state.”

Conservation Officers Tom Oberg, Kyle Cherry and DePew conducted separate investigations over a three-year period that resulted in numerous convictions.

On Sept. 8, Day pleaded guilty before a judge and was convicted of the following:

  • 2018: Intentionally discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and possession or taking of an illegal deer. He was sentenced to 13 months in jail, loss of weapon used and ordered to pay fines totaling $1,836.
  • 2019: Possession of a firearm by a felon and using another’s hunting license. He was sentenced to 13 months in jail, loss of weapon used and ordered to pay fines totaling $1,458.
  • 2020: Operating a motor vehicle while being intoxicated (third offense) and being a habitual offender. He was sentenced to serve 16 months to 7 1/2 years in prison and to pay fines totaling $958.

The three sentences will run concurrently. Day started serving his prison sentence Sept. 13. Of his total $4,254 in fines assessed, $2,000 was ordered paid to the state’s Fish and Game Fund as restitution for the loss of game. Read more

Michigan: Muskegon State Park’s Scenic Drive to close Nov. 1 through April 1

To accommodate a water main project in Muskegon State Park, Scenic Drive south of the Memorial Drive intersection will be closed November through March.

Ultimately, the project will transport water from the Muskegon water filtration plant and allow the state park to hook into the municipal water system, too.

The roadway will be closed for crews to safely assemble the water main prior to installation under the Muskegon Channel and state park. Construction is anticipated to take place Nov. 1, 2021, through April 1, 2022. Read more

Firearms News Debates Militias in Foreign and Domestic Matters

DENVER (October 26, 2021) – A new story posted on the Firearms News website debates the interpretation of the United States Constitution on the right to form militias and bear arms.

Writer David Codrea argues that while U.S. military personnel train European civilian resistance forces to thwart invasion, the U.S. government has worked to do away with unorganized militias of its own citizens. Citing the Founding Fathers intent of the use of militias, the article goes on to argue how Democrats and Republicans have impinged on American’s right to bear arms.

“David Codrea is one of the top Second Amendment writers in the United States,” Firearms News editor-in-chief Vincent DeNiro noted. “His perspective is always in line with that of the Founding Fathers.”
