Upper Michigan


I know it is hard to see, but there is an eagle flying in the sky!  We saw several while we were there.  There must be a nest not too far away.  Young eagles do not have the white head and tail feathers.

Unknown, he is cute, but not sure what type of bird.

House Wren
This is a small brown bird with light brown marking on tail and wings.  Often holds tail erect. Brown slightly curved bill.

This is a prolific songbird.  They sing from dawn to dusk during mating season.  


In spring the males choose several prospective nesting cavities and place a few small twigs in each.  The female inspects each, chooses one and finishes the nest building.  She will completely fill nest cavity with uniform small twigs then line a small depression at back of next with pine needles and grass.


Found these mushrooms.  In a different light they appeared a light orange.

Just thought this one was cool.

I love hearing the wrens sing. We had a pair in our birdhouse this year and I so enjoyed hearing and seeing them.
