Early this afternoon I ventured out to the south breakwater of Ludington Harbor. On the walk to the end of the pier I only saw 7 birds on the pier itself, all Lapland Longspurs.

When I got to the end of the pier I scanned Lake Michigan and found a single Long-tailed Duck.

Heading back in from the end of the pier I came across a Snow Bunting.

ReplyDeleteThe NWS is predicting above normal temps and below normal precip for my area, but no one told the birds. There are Snowy Owls in U P already.
