UNDER CONSTRUCTION - COMING SOON - maybe about mid-January 2026

Humanity can choose to recognize the way nature works, and work with it, or ignore it to our own peril as we watch the slow, if not rapid, degradation of the ecosphere, ecosystems, populations, and species that exist on the planet Earth. Wild Places, Wild Birds chooses to pay attention, learn, recognize, understand, and act. Hope you’ll join us as we present the cultural, economic, and scientific information needed to save our spectacular natural world.

October Stirs Up Superior

Presque Isle, Marquette, Michigan

In what might be labeled the first real signs that the short Autumn season is coming to a close, Lake Superior became a bowl of rolling and smashing water today, October 15, 2019. It was the biggest gale so far for this Yankee Southerner, and I was duly impressed. The winds were gusting to 35mph and the waves grew throughout the day, up to 10-12 feet by afternoon. These images are from my morning walk, mostly a drive, actually. I will post an afternoon gallery, of even more stunning shots taken as I walked around the entire peninsula. Look for that tomorrow.

Here is a slide show of the morning photographs.
