Common Mergansers

Every spring, the Common Mergansers make a pit stop on my little lake in Northern Michigan. This year they didn't disappoint. 

Curious Gray Jay

If you whistle or have some food for them....then you might attract this gregarious bird. I love the Gray Jay!

It's a mad world....

Is it just me, or does this Evening Grosbeak look mad at me? Which reminds me, last week at school I had two Canadian geese chase me across campus hissing at me. Seriously - isn't bird lover written all over my face???
