Canada Geese on Wintergreen Lake, WK Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. Near Gull Lake, Michigan.

As I said: The water's green . The Kellogg Bird Sanctuary calls this "The Lagoon." It's a little pond beside Wintergreen Lake (which is in the background of the photo), and it serves as both a display area and a sanctuary-within-the-sanctuary for the sorts of birds who nest beside little ponds. Of course, these particular nesting birds are pretty tolerant of humanity. It's also the first thing I see when I visit. There are several routes a person might take through the Sanctuary, but I've always begun by taking the stairway down to the lake, and the lagoon, right inside the Sanctuary's entrance. Because I like this view, basically. You don't see it unless you walk down those steps.

Another pic from Sunday's excursion to the Maple River State Game Area. Once again the ISO's too high, but it's less obtrusive. Just wanted to mention that our feet got wet; there are several places where the water's overflowed the levees.

At Maple River State Game Area, north of St Johns, Michigan. This is not as sharp as I'd hoped--I had the ISO set too high--but at the smaller sizes the photo looks fine.

It's those geese again. I do wish these pix had been just a wee bit sharper.

Here I was, trying to get a photo of the ice that had blown into the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay when these geese flew by....

The nature preserve on the beach at Pointes North Resort, Traverse City (on the East Bay). We'll be up there in a few days. Can't wait.
