Blue Jay, Whitefish Point, Michigan’s U.P.<\/p><\/div>\n

My Northern Michigan weekend photography workshops are usually in the fall, but this one was on Memorial Day Weekend. At each workshop we take a full day to go on a field trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We stopped at the south end of the Mackinac Bridge.<\/p>\n

Canoes near the Mackinac Bridge.<\/p><\/div>\n

These canoes were lined up not far from the bridge.<\/p>\n

The clouds let up briefly as we crossed the bridge.<\/p>\n

Whitefish Point, Michigan’s U.P.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our second stop was the bird observation area at Whitefish Point. Note the rain covers over our equipment. It had been raining but it stopped for a bit.<\/p>\n

Immature Bald Eagle, Seney National Wildlife Refuge<\/p><\/div>\n

The Seney National Wildlife Refuge, is one of my favorite places on the planet.\u00a0 This eagle was right over the road through the refuge. We photographed it through the sun roof of my car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Raindrops<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a wet, rainy, drizzly day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Beaver, Seney National Wildlife Refuge<\/p><\/div>\n

The road through Seney winds around several ponds and you never know what you will see next.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Trumpeter Swan, Seney National Wildlife Refuge<\/p><\/div>\n

It is hidden in the grass but this swan is at her nest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sandhill Cranes, Seney National Wildlife Refuge<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite the rain, it was a great day to photograph wildlife.<\/p>\n
