You’ve heard of the Bermuda Triangle? Meet the common merganser triangle of Lake Superior! Still following my friendly flock of mergansers on the Lester River.
Shortly after dawn I headed down to the mouth of the Lester River where is flows into Lake Superior. As usual, one of my favorite birding spots did not disappoint. From 5:30 to 7:30 am I watched this flock of mergansers and assorted other birds. The mergansers where anything but “common”!
The parade of common mergansers begins!

The ice has finally melted on this end of Lake Superior (not on the south shore of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). Within the past week the leaves have finally started to appear, and some flowering trees are blooming. Down on Minnesota Point this morning I found a flock of cedar waxwings which were enjoying the new bounty!
