The woodcock s sky dance is one of northern Michigan s spring thrills

Interlochen Public Radio Brian Granger looks out over the Elizabeth Hoffman Nature Preserve in Charlevoix, in search of woodcock. There’s an elusive bird in northern Michigan. It’s there, if you know where to look for it. Right where fields and wetlands meet – that’s this bird’s bread and butter. And in spring time, you’ll see it dancing at dawn or dusk when it’s safer from hawks. The woodcock is a dull-colored bird just a little bigger than a robin. But don’t let the coloring fool you – this little bird is really cool. That’s because at this rare point of the day, when the light is just right, it does an incredible dance where it shoots up into the sky like a rocket.

Little-known Sleeping Bear Dunes gateway road inching forward, but still decades away

Interlochen Public Radio Views like this of Platte Lake, Lake Michigan, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes are the reason the National Park Service has slowly been acquiring land for a scenic road in Benzie County. If you look at Benzie County on Google Maps, you’ll notice a dark green strip of land about five miles long between Platte Lake and Crystal Lake.  That’s where a long-proposed scenic road would run – between U.S. Highway 31 and M-22 – taking people from Beulah into Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The land is mostly dense hardwood forest and it s extremely hilly. “This is almost a 90-degree descent here we’re going to go down here, so we may want to keep our hands free,” says Andy Norman, a retiree of Michigan State University Extension who lives nearby.
