Feathers. Fishing. And 75 lbs.
Damn. It’s been awhile. I took a hiatus from the blog to dedicate my time to losing weight. It’s ironic because writing and the outdoors motivated me to make serious changes in my life. Yet writing about the outdoors has fallen off my time-pressed list of things to do. Last September I drafted three simple … Continue reading
Ernie Harwell and some Chicks
Apparently Peregrine Falcons run the D. Since posting this story ( http://bit.ly/9Ql5l5 ) about the Falcons nesting on top of my office buidling in Warren, MI, two more Falcon pairs have made the news in Metro-Detroit. In the past week, DNR officers and conservationalists banded and named 6 Falcon chicks. Three in Mount Clemens on the Macomb County building and three more on the … Continue reading
Adventure Fishing in Northern Michigan

We were fishing in Badger Lake at Lost Lake Woods club near … Continue reading

Installing a guardrail/handrail on the front porch. It sux. While I have the saws, air compressors and nail guns out of the garage, I was thinking … Continue reading
Peregrine Falcons at the Office
A few co-workers and I noticed these falcons hanging around our office building here in Warren, MI. I immediately knew they were peregrines after witnessing one of them pick-off a pigeon in mid-air. Peregrines are some of the fastest animals on the planet reaching speeds of almost 200 mph as they swoop down on unsuspecting prey. … Continue reading
How to Stop the Asian Carp?
***UPDATE*** http://tinyurl.com/2fvoyr4 The Chicago Tribune reported that the DNR’s massive poisoning of the Chicago River revealed zero asian carp. It was believed that the carp made it up to the locks in Chicago and basically to the doorstep of Lake Michigan. The only way to know for sure was to poison the river resulting in 100,000 dead fish. Good … Continue reading
