This is the live web cam shot of my back yard on Intermediate Lake Road in Central Lake. Besides the birds, you can occasionally see rabbits, skunks, opossums, squirrels, and raccoons feeding on the ground. In winter I have a snow depth gauge installed. The picture is updated every three seconds. You can email me with any questions or comments.

(5/19/12) The weekend is expected to be hot and dry with temperatures as high as 90° and an increased fire danger. Monday will be cooler with possible thunderstorms.

(5/13/12) Click on the thumbnails to see pictures I took in cherry orchards north of Central Lake. The photo on the left shows tart cherry blossoms while the one on the right is of the sweets. It doesn't look like they'll get much of either kind this season. Here's an article from the April 26th Antrim Review that seems to say there won't be much of a crop at all this summer and one from Channel 7 saying that cherries will be imported from Poland this summer.

(5/5/12) My birds are getting more colorful now that spring is here. Click on the thumbnail to see what I think is an Oriole along with a male and female American goldfinch. I've also had a pair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks feeding the past couple of days.

(5/4/12) The first hummingbird showed up yesterday, three days ahead of last year's date, and you can see my sighting plotted on the map. Click on the thumbnail at the right to see a picture of one that stopped by today. Click here for an interesting commentary on this spring's migration.

(4/23/12)   This late April shot doesn't look much different from a month ago, except for the greenery starting to show on the trees. With nights in the 20s there probably was a film of ice in places, but it would have been gone shortly after sunrise. Click here to compare conditions to last year.
