Hi there ! I have more trail camera action to share with you. This time it is from the Lone Pine Marsh property, north of Brighton. I have been the property steward for the past two years for the Lone Pine Marsh, which means I visit there once…
Here’s a little victory- when I masked up and stuck my hand out the window of my car to pay the $9.00 fee for the Amherst Island Ferry passage the ferry man said it wasn’t necessary because of covid. Actually he just pointed to his mask and shook his head,…
My trips down to Presqu’ile Park never disappoint. I have taken a few hikes out to Gull Island this fall. The water is really low between the mainland and the island, just above the ankle, so it is a pretty easy trip these days. The beautiful buck below…
In the middle of May this year, I spent a few evenings standing on a dock overlooking Brighton Bay. As the sun set, I was serenaded with weird and spooky sounds from the marsh. Most of them came from these funny little birds: Pied Billed Grebes! Here’s a link to…

Sure, we’re in the dead of winter. But don’t stay home sleeping. Take a winter walk. And if you’re anywhere near Presqu’ile Park in Brighton, so much the better. Take a late afternoon walk or a drive around the loop or near the beach, and you stand a good chance…
