    Kite Skiing at the Park

    Most people aren’t aware of the winter sport called Kite Skiing .  While I was taking one of my many rides around the Park , I came across an old friend of mine at Sunset Point Beach.  Except he wasn’t swimming or sunning himself like most people do at the Beach.  But that’s because this [...]

    Merry Christmas from Michele, Toni and Brian!

    Easy Suet Mix

    Since I have not been able to make it to Presque Isle for over a month now I thought I would post this suet recipe I make for my backyard birds.
    Winter is upon us and as we cozy up with a hot drink watching the winter resident birds at our feeders dashing in and out [...]

    Missing the Fall season

    Now that winter is upon us.  This is what you’ve missed if you haven’t visited the Park during the Fall season.

    And here are just a few of the birds that are around now as well as the Fall.
    I hope you’ve enjoyed these pics.  The next time they’ll all be loaded with that white stuff and [...]

    When the action is slow……

    This is supposed to be Fall Migration here at Presque Isle State Park.  Yet the Warbler migration has been extremely slow, at least nothing like the Spring Migration.  So what does someone do who is interested in birds and photography.  Well, there’s always the Gulls…they always seem to be around.  And while looking for them, [...]

    Of Dragons and Damsels

    Well, with the (finally) warmer and drier weather we’ve been experiencing (yes, I started this post awhile back) many more winged creatures have been making the scene at Presque Isle.  On the day I shot these,  Toni and I withstood the blazing heat for hours on end to bring you, our dear readers, some information [...]

    Empty Nest Syndrome

    Things are slowing down for many birders this time of year with spring migration over and many fledglings venturing away from the nest.  Toni and I had been following a couple of Baltimore Oriole (BAOR) nests on Presque Isle.  It’s amazing how quickly the hatchlings grow into fledglings!  Another thing I find amazing  is the [...]
