The Little River Blue Heron

Once in awhile you bump into a touching moment. After three weeks of bitter cold and snow on Little River, a caring ice-fisherman threw a perch to this starving Blue Heron.

Peche Island Winter

Nature will always paint a better picture. Peche Island, southeast lagoon, on the Detroit River after a heavy snow fall.

Unusual ducks spending the winter on the Detroit River.

Good Morning from Peche Island

The island was formed from a peninsula of the Canadian shore by the action of the Detroit River. There is a central marsh on the island. The present channel was eroded until the core of the island remained. There are man-made channels cut through the island to ensure fresh water supply and recreational opportunities. The island's flora and fauna have been heavily impacted by human activity, and the forest is the result of a rehabilitation program.

Seagull Pigs

For most gulls, it's not flying that matters, but eating.

The Eagle's Nest

You'll have a hard time spotting the eagles on Peche Island and the Detroit River. You'll have a harder time finding their nest. This was my lucky day.
