Trish, what a fascinating article. I'm glad the bald eagle is making a comeback, but how sad the young are being fed poisoned fish.
I agree the Great Lakes area is beautiful. There is so much to offer in the region. I hope MI can make a comeback, especially in tourism. With the economy as it is, we may not get very many visitors from out of state, but shorter road trips would help a lot. Maybe the people that normally travel to other parts of the country will stay in the Great Lakes region this summer.
