We are still enjoying an amazing stretch of warm November weather in Wisconsin...76 degrees today!! It is a pleasure to take Fenway out for his walks in the neighborhood. The other day we went to Rotary Park and there must have been 100 gulls and terns flying and diving into the water. The flash and dance of their wings as they zipped and zoomed, then curved one way or another was beautiful. They were diving for small alewives and most every trip down into the water was a success. The birds called and flew and dove....over and over.
For our afternoon walk I had my cell phone and we just meandered a few blocks to the now-empty marina and the birds were back. The afternoon light again highlighted the wild, raucous activity. Without a good camera it was impossible for me to catch the way the light reflected off the white undersides of the birds' wings but it was flashy.
The activity gave me a reason, once again, to stop and look at "my" Lake Michigan. She's a beauty and never disappoints. Today the birds' flash dance added the exclamation point!
