This afternoon, my sisters and I went to the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary in Manistee. I'm staying in the area in my sisters' cottage near Lake Michigan, and when I found out the Audubon Society had a wildlife sanctuary here, I was really happy.
And I still am. It's beautiful there.
It was a lovely day for a walk - temperatures in the seventies, sunny, a slight breeze... just about perfect.
my first Cedar Waxwing sighting I don't even think I'd heard of them till a couple of years ago. I just didn't used to pay a bit of attention to birds. |
The bird sanctuary goes all the way down to the water. |
I'd love to see this one at some point. No ducks to be seen today. |
beautiful Lake Michigan |
my first Indigo Bunting! |
Over the river and through the woods...
Here is an interesting plant:
Look at the seeds/berries/whatever they are in the middle. Anyone know what this is? Maybe some kind of trillium? I really know nothing whatsoever about plants.
I'm sure some critter is having a wonderful time with this tree. Any ideas here?
I love chickadees. |
What kind of woodpecker is this? |
I'm so grateful for this beauty and for the chance to share it with my sisters. Family sisters, in this case. God is so good.
Sarah this is wonderful I am so happy for you
