I did another hike today- six more miles mostly along the Manistee River, and then back.

It's late and I have to get up on time in the morning, so this will be quick.
It was a truly lovely walk, but I'll just throw out a few pictures.
This is a kingbird sitting on a stump. Nothing too special, but he did sit still for me.

Then, I saw a really huge trumpeter swan. It was so big, I didn't think it was a bird at first.

And then his mate showed up too.

I ate lunch in the shade of some lilac bushes before turning around. Also saw a rose-breasted grosbeak, pileated woodpecker (and some smaller ones), and a green heron.
The evening was filled with the MOWA meeting. Lots of noise and unfamiliar people.
Hike 100 Challenge = 106 miles!
North Country Trail, Fletcher Creek Campground to M37 and back, Wexford County, MI, 12 miles

WOW, that swan is huge. Good job going over the top on the Hike 100 Challenge
Beautiful country... I never hiked by the Manistee,but did do a 3 day paddle on the river when I lived in Michigan.
