We visited Belle Island on a gorgeous, albeit chilly day a few weeks ago. We saw bald eagles, Canada geese, and many other different water birds out in the nice weather. There were also lots of ice-skaters and ice-hockey players enjoying the frozen ice on the small lakes and ponds of Belle Isle.
Unfortunately, there was no shipping action on the Detroit River while we were there, but it was great to see all the thick pieces of ice, grinding and crunching along the water.
