Over the years we have learned that midges fuel bird migration. When warblers, thrushes and flycatchers are migrating there are typically large swarms of midges emerging around the Great Lakes.
The other day we were at Point Labarbe on the northern edge of Lake Michigan and we encountered large swarms of midges. This is a photo that Susan took of me returning to the midge-covered car. But my view was rather different.
Clouds of uncountable midges were swarming over me, next to me, on me.
More tomorrow…
