This morning it was a lot warmer than yesterday at the same time. We started our walk and it was 15F. We opened the front door letting some heat out, but keeping the storm door closed and these ice crystals formed yesterday. No need to do that today. While the point was warmer and withContinue reading “Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025”

Whitefish Point – December, 2025
We are planning to spend 8-10 days at Whitefish Point. The weather forecast looks like it will snow every day, which is no surprise and it doesn’t bother us. As I am sitting here writing it is still dark outside and 7F. But inside with a fire going in the wood stove the cabin isContinue reading “Whitefish Point – December, 2025”
End of the Fall Waterfowl count at Whitefish Point
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”

Whitefish Point – late August
As I am sitting here writing the morning temperature is 41F, but is quite still, so with a cup of coffee in hand it is quite comfortable. The past few days the wind has been out of the north, sometimes howling, yet bird migration has been rather minimal. Waves crashing on shore, which surprisingly hasContinue reading “Whitefish Point – late August”
An interesting day at Whitefish Point
Sitting on the deck watching sunrise is a favorite way to pass some time in the morning. It also allows me to think about what has happened or what we might be doing today. In this case I was thinking about yesterday. About a week or ten days ago we found a group of MourningContinue reading “An interesting day at Whitefish Point”
