Horned Lark
The bird action was very slow at Whitefish Point in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. That is, until this Horned Lark dropped down from the sky and landed nearly at my feet. It walked along the colorful Lake Superior beach stones, and stepped into the water. That was the first time I've ever seen a Horned Lark in water.
It probed the sand, found something to eat (a larva that I could not identify) and then flew off.
Whitefish Point juts into the south shore of Lake Superior, a convenient place for autumn-migrating birds headed south.
