A special visitor

We always appreciate visitors, both friends and animals. In the past couple of weeks we had friends with or without a dog visiting and it’s always nice. But our feeders also have nice visitors. While they are meant for birds and always have bird visitors we also get an array of other animals. In AnnContinue reading “A special visitor”

January – Whitefish Point, Michigan

After spending two days exploring eastern Chippewa County, Michigan we are back at Whitefish Point. It’s a pleasant day, 19F, no wind and very light snow falling. So it was time to walk down and look at Lake Superior. Walking to the point. Looking at the lighthouse and Shipwreck museum structures from the deck overlookingContinue reading “January – Whitefish Point, Michigan”

A vistor last night at Whitefish Point

Sometimes when you get up early in the morning you see something surprising. Wee this morning I turned on the bayside lights to see how much it snowed last night and saw that we got an inch or two.

Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025

This morning it was a lot warmer than yesterday at the same time. We started our walk and it was 15F.

While the point was warmer and withContinue reading “Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025”

Saturday was the end of the Fall, 2025 waterfowl count at Whitefish Point. The morning started with the point being quite wet and the route to move the shack to a safer spot for the winter was covered wih a foot of water. This would have been a problem if the wind hadn’t changed toContinue reading “End of the Fall Waterfowl count at Whitefish Point”

Escaping to Whitefish Point

A few days ago we headed north to Whitefish Point. For me it was escaping the implications of the government shutdown, and some political situations. It’s difficult to ignore the relationship between the President and Epstein. In the future, hopefully the near future the President will be implicated with Epstein. But for now I willContinue reading “Escaping to Whitefish Point”

Susan and Jane Goodall

On the last day of September, 2025 Amanda brought a large shipment of plants arrived at Whitefish Point. Since then Susan had been working 8-10 hours a day planting. The first day Amanda was there as well as friends at Whitefish Point. The second day however was after the government shutdown sadly. Lynn helped bothContinue reading “Susan and Jane Goodall”
