Woodcock Banding, Spring 2008




It is amazing the things one discovers while in the woods woodcock banding. While banding with my friend and mentor Paul in Montmorency County on May 15, we observed very fresh bear sign and scat in the aspen stand his two English Setters and my GSP Bruno were searching. Soon we discovered a bear den that had been just recently vacated. Wildlife thrives throughout northern Michigan--it's an outdoors person's paradise, too!
