Today started out slowly. It was a nice morning and we were yards off the beach in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We set off on a beach walk but my early AM migraine kept me from most of the walk. Cindy was able to enjoy the really nice beginning to the day. I did rally enough to make two short hikes mid-morning, one to Au Sable Falls and one to the tall dunes in the park. Later we drove through the Seney NWR. We hoped to see loons and did spy one but it was a long distance from us. In fact most of the birds were opposite sides of the huge impoundments and lakes in the refuge. We saw scores of swan and the highlight for me was watching a Harrier Hawk working the marsh - again at the limits of my camera’s longest lens. Then on to the Soo (Sault Ste Marie, MI) to spend the Labor Day weekend in the parking lot of our friend Tom’s church. We are two blocks from the famous Soo Locks and watched one big ship traverse the waterway last night after a great dinner at the Lockview Restaurant.

Cindy off for a walk at sunrise.
Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans
On the road again. The Driver took his traveling circus on a narrow, bumpy, winding road across acres of great Moose territory. Did he stop? Of course not. We were going very slow to watch “birds.” Never will I understand - there are birds everywhere but we go here and not to graze and meet my fans. We were going so slow I slipped out and wandered about for an hour eating and enjoying the place as it was intended, to serve Moosekind. But then as the vehicle neared the exit, I had to exert my amazing super swimming skills to get back on. Of course I made it. We are heading to a zoo, I overheard. I hope not that is a horrible place. I will keep a keen eye out if that happens there will be mutiny.
