A Watchful Eye
I’m always amazed at the abundance of wildlife in this county. While driving on Jelinek Road recently, I looked up and saw this bird, which I think is a red tailed hawk. ~ photo submitted by Mary Eliowitz

Why Leelanau?
Why do you live or visit here? Why did you decide to raise your kids or own a business here? Why are you passionate about this particular spot on the globe?
My husband and I have seen a bird very similar to this one twice in the past week. Today on the Leelanau Trail just north of Pineview and a few days ago on a low branch in the yard of the farm next to Bayview Condominiums.
