J. Groth 1987 journal 187. Eastern Trip, Michigan July 11 so I went back to L'Anse and got (unt'd) some oil at a gas station. This seemed to do the trick, and the truck behaved properly. I went S to Ishpeming on Hwy 41, then continued E on Hwy 28 past Marquette. It was about 3 hr. to sundown, and the rain was briefly easing, when I got to a wayside right on the shoreline just about 1 mi. W of Av Train. I got the birds (decoys 305 and 387) out of the truck and put them on the ground just above the beach. Here was a dunes-like strip of sandy soil and small jack-pines and red pines. Evening grosbeaks flew overhead open, exciting the decoys. A flock of 6 Type 2 crossbills then came in response to the decoys, and I recorded the birds on tape 80. Some or most of the flock were striped juveniles, and at least one red bird was seen. I then decided to camp near here. I found a secluded place just E of the wayside, in a dunes-type habitat of the above-mentioned trees.
