This afternoon Linda and Chuck Scribner found a Black-necked Stilt at Freeman Pond which is located on US-31 and Freeman Rd in Mason County north of Ludington.
The bird was a few hundred feet from both roads but lighting from the afternoon sun was better from busy US-31.
The Stilt eventually flew across US-31 where I lost sight of it and was unable to recover it.
A couple of Snowy Owls were still in the area including one near the Kubota dealer west of US-31
And another east of 31 about a half mile south of Freeman Pond
Here are some photos that were rattling around in my camera since Sunday.
