1100 Hrs. Robin and I are driving on C-48 between East Jordan and Boyne City and I’ve just spotted a pair of Eastern Meadowlarks on an overhead wire in an area of open farmland/pastureland. Neat!
On the way back after lunch there’s a light-phase Rough-legged Hawk on a telephone pole in the same area. I stopped the car and managed several flight shots before it disappeared into the stratosphere. Gorgeous!
