Michigan Audubon 's Baker Sanctuary 's Big Marsh Lake , taken downhill from the pavilion (or whatever y' call it) at Kiwanis Youth Area, near Bellevue. If you look closely, you'll find Sandhill Cranes in the sky, geese and ducks in the water, and perhaps a couple swans. Don't think there are any cormorants or small birds in this picture, but they show up. We've even seen eagles. Approximately the same view: 2003 , 2005 , & 2006 . I certainly have others from my film days....

Big Marsh Lake, from the Kiwanis Youth Area , near Bellevue, Michigan. Besides the obvious birds, there are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of cranes wading in the marsh within the frame of this photograph.
