White-winged Dove - Lightfoot Bay/Huron Bay; Baraga Co.

[Joe Kaplan]

I observed a White-winged Dove this morning north of Skanee on  Huron
Bay.  The dove was just north (~1/4 mile) of Lightfoot Bay where
Peterson Road runs NW towards Huron Bay and then turns SW along the
coast.  There's a small point that juts out into the Bay where the
road turns and the dove was flushed from a small conifer where it
landed in a red pine before flying towards the ESE.  The bird was very
wary.

This stretch of coast is private so I recommend accessing the area by
walking the beach from the Keweenaw Land Trust's Lightfoot Bay
Preserve (http://www.keweenawlandtrust.org/special-lightfoot.php).
