Greater White-fronted Goose Huron Co.

[Karl Overman]

On this beautiful fall day (Oct 17th), Robert Epstein, Sue Wright and  
I birded the Lake Huron shoreline of the Thumb of Michigan from Port  
Huron to Grindstone City at the tip of the Thumb.  At the White Rock  
Roadside Rest Area, Sue pointed out to Robert and I a White-fronted  
Goose  actively feeding in the shallows of Lake Huron in a flock of  
Canada Geese.


This rest area is on M-25 just south of Atwater Road, approximately  
two miles north of the Sanilac County line.  There is a nice stairway  
with several landings going down the steep enbankment above Lake  
Huron.  Look from the uppermost landing.

Earlier at Lighthouse Park in Port Huron we had 4 Surf Scoters, 2  
White-winged Scoters and a Long-tailed Duck on Lake Huron.

Cheers,
