Another view of the swan I showed you a few days ago. At MIchigan's State Secondary Complex.

Two crops of the same picture. I worked for 33 years in a building on the border of this protected wilderness area. Generally there are swans and geese; often there are more interesting species.

Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, Gull Lake, Michigan.

For thirty-three years I worked near the edge of this pond....

Kellogg Bird Sanctuary (a Michigan State University facility, on land donated by W.K. Kellogg), very near Gull Lake, not far from Battle Creek. The smaller bird seems to be a redhead duck (or is it a canvassback?)--the sanctuary attracts thousands of ducks, in many varieties. ==================== Had a friend who worked at the Biological Station (a larger facility which includes the sanctuary); she told tales of watching ducks mistake the ice on Wintergreen Lake for open water, and trying to land. Evidently an ongoing source of entertainment for the staff. The sanctuary is open in winter; perhaps I'll wander down some day and check.

In the swan's opinion, we were trespassing, and I was the ringleader. BEST LARGE Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, Gull Lake, Michigan.

My dad took this in 1960. Obviously it could have been taken pretty much anywhere, but this is likely Wintergreen Lake at the WK Kellogg Bird Sanctuary--north of Battle Creek. I think that thing in the lower left corner is a fence to keep the birds and people separated. Camera: Argus C3
