Well, (at 9:16) to me it looks like an American Woodcock. It dances like a woodcock, maybe I’m wrong but I’ve never seen a Wilson sniper dance like this.

Yes, they have the slow type writer movement too 😆, so cute! I wish it was the Am. Woodcock, since we don’t have one this year. Also, look at the markings on the back, longer beak, as well as the barred flanks (you can kind of see in the close video). The Am. Woodcock is from Houston and east too, but it’s possible.

Also checked Sibleys, Merlin, and others about markings, distribution and habitat between the woodcock and snipe. This one was closer to the water and woodcocks like higher ground. Weird... Dave had the 1st thought of a woodcock too until looking closer. Appreciate your thoughts and comments. 😊

Thanks for sharing. My favorite photos are the Piping Plover and the Virginia Rail, because they are nice photos and the birds are rarely seen. I was amazed to see the Herring Gull eating a sea lamprey - makes me wonder if the lamprey could attach to the stomach of the gull, and eat it from the inside out! The only Whooping Crane I have seen was in the farm lands in western Lenawee County Michigan back in June 2016. It seemed to be paired with a Sandhill Crane. They returned in the area in spring for a number of years.

@@ASadler-ug1nm Thanks, I love the Piping Plover pic hiding behind the grass the best. He has a few others too on the Whitefish Point video. I, too, thought the same about the Lamprey. The sea gull seemed to make sure it was dead before engulfing it whole by knocking it against the rock SEVERAL times. We were only that close to a rail a few times, the Clapper Rail in FL and the Virginia Rail at Lon Hagler. This Rail had a hurt toe, so we let him/her walk all the way down the boardwalk to stay out of its way. That’s interesting about the Whooping Crane hanging out with the Sandhill Crane. I believe they migrate about the same time anyway. Thanks again for watching.

I live in the lower peninsula but have been coming to the UP for 50 years. Two family members graduated from NMU in Marquette and one worked on a Great Lakes freighter . I used to fish a lot and am very interested in wildlife. I have yet to see or hear a wolf or a moose . Even a few cougars are around up there . I know Whitefish Point is popular for bird migrations. There are peregrines around Pictured Rocks. The UP is a great place if you like history , waterfalls , wildlife and all kinds of outdoor activities.

The freighter Michipicoten developed a 13 foot long crack in the hull near Isle Royale a few weeks ago. It made it safely to harbor.
