*Possible* Black-necked Stilt, Gratiot Co.

[Caleb Putnam]

All-

I received the following report of a possible Black-necked Stilt from Monday 18 Aug 2008 at Maple River flooding.  The observer repeatedly stated that he was not certain of his ID, so I am mainly throwing this out there in hopes that somebody close might be able to go by and check on this bird just in case that's what it is.  So, be forewarned **Chase at your own risk**- this bird may be something other than a stilt!
