The migration is now in full force along the North Shore of Lake Superior. Whether a duck or a hawk, diving for food is a common task! These sequence of photos show both a Redhead and American Kestrel (Sparrow Hawk) in the act of diving.

My wife and I just finished our gig as lighthouse keepers on a remote stretch of Lake Superior shoreline near Whitefish Point. Crisp Point Lighthouse may only be accessed via a 19 mile long dirt road, and is 40 miles from the nearest town. In short, it is very remote!
Learn more about our experience as lighthouse keepers via my wife’s blog. Molly regularly writes articles for Lake Superior magazine and better describes our experience in words than me!
However, here is the magic of a Crisp Point night in photos … from sunset to sunrise! (access photos directly via Flickr)
Here are two still images / excerpts from the slide show. The Northern Lights shined upon us our second night at Crisp Point, but only after a gorgeous sunset!
Timing is everything in life! While driving over to our lighthouse keeping gig at Crisp Point Lake Superior, we decided to break up the long drive from Duluth with an overnight stay in Munising, Michigan. Arriving in town a few minutes before 5 pm, Molly noticed a sunset cruise to Pictured Rocks left the small harbor in 30 minutes. Lake Superior was in her majesty!
Will post some photos from Crisp Point by Monday.
