American Oystercatcher from Dauphin Island, Alabama. Blue Grosbeak from Washtenaw County, Michigan where they are now nesting. Bohemian Waxwing in CHippewa County, Michigan.

Whitefish Point, November 2024
Walking along the boardwalk towards the point we found where the waterfowl shack had been moved for the winter. While it is only a few hundred yards from where it was and it was a lot of work to move it is in a safe place for the winter. The “point” has grown some 120Continue reading “Whitefish Point, November 2024”
Ann Arbor and Douglas
owntown Ann Arbor is always fun anytime of the year. The various murals are always changing or being updated. This one in on the back of the Art Center. This was in the window of a shop.

Watching Tsuchinshan-Atlas
Sunset at Whitefish Point, about an hour before we started looking for the comet. The Moon rose to the east. It was a full Moon, called the hunters Moon. Hopefully, the light from the Moon woul;dn’t hamper our ability to see the comet. Looking WSW we were finally able to see the comet. What aContinue reading “Watching Tsuchinshan-Atlas”
Full Moon at Whitefish Point
This is the Moon setting this morning at Whitefish Point. Since we do not have shades in our bedroom, whenever the Moon is in the western sky it’s like turning on the lights in the middle of the night. That’s why I use a sleep-mask. Shortly after the Moon set it was time for sunrise.Continue reading “Full Moon at Whitefish Point”
The past few moth nights in Ann Arbor

The jakery power source will last all nightContinue reading “The past few moth nights in Ann Arbor”

Fall Colors, 2024
We always leave our place at Whitefish Point, Michigan with mixed feelings. AT least on our drive home yesterday we had some nice views of the changing colors that are always a highlight of the fall. Right now the maples are starting to turn red, the aspens are going to yellow and some of theContinue reading “Fall Colors, 2024”
Whitefish Point – more birds
Everybody gets excited when they see a Spruce Grouse. I understand that, remembering the days before we had our place here. But, in reality they are surprisingly common – if you know where to look. Personally, I get equally excited when I find a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker that I can photograph. Of course this frequently meansContinue reading “Whitefish Point – more birds”
Whitefish Point – September, 2024
The view south-west from the tip of Whitefish Point where we have been for the past week. Evening at the point looking northwest. It’s always fun finding interesting animal tracks. These are bear tracks. The photo on the right has Susan’s foo for some size comparison. Planting day at the habitat restoration site. People, leadContinue reading “Whitefish Point – September, 2024”
