Wilson's Phalarope Midland Co.

[Karl Overman]

I stopped by the Dow Ponds in Midland on Poseyville Road and viewed  
the ponds from Overlook Park. Along a channel, I spotted a few  
shorebirds including a Wilson's Phalarope.  On a distant island with  
numerous gulls on it, there was a Black-bellied Plover in alternate  
plumage.  Other birds seen there included 2 Caspian Terns, and a  
Black Tern.
