We here at Lovable Michigan aren't suggesting you get out a knife and fork. But we are definitely recommending this really cool interactive map that shows you where the graceful giants are now and if they're nearby. How else are you going to know what's really happening when you hear those primordial trumpeting calls coming from the back yard. SANDHILL CRANE HEAT MAP Guess who else is coming to dinner It is such a widely-held notion: Robins are the first sign of spring in Michigan. Sorry. Buzzer sound. Most robins never leave. It's actually the red-winged blackbirds* that are some of the very first birds to return to Michigan each spring, making their distinctive, trilling song a true harbinger of the change in seasons. *For all you Lovables out there, we know it's hard to love a red-winged blackbird, with their penchant for diving at your head and all. Let's focus on how their presence means warmer weather to come. But yeah, protect your face. WHY DO WE THINK THAT ABOUT ROBINS? Muddy Michigan It's mud season, or about to be for some of us. So set up a spot outside your door for the messy boots and read this story about how you can protect Michigan's beloved trails when they're muddy.
