Hi,

 This bird appeared in our driveway 3 days ago and hasn't left.   It's not shy at all.  It digs in the mud with it's long beak and walks like a chicken/turkey in a way.  Meaning it will step and then move it's chest back and forth once or twice, step and repeat.  I tried to find it on the internet and the closest I could come to is the Long Billed Dowitcher.

 We live in NW lower MI near the Lake Michigan coastline.  I understand the Dowitcher is not native to this area..so I'm really at a loss.

 Can anyone help?
