More Lighthouses







Now that it is quieter we went out to Cana Island Lighthouse. It is the picture of the lighthouse without water in it. This lighthouse is about halfway up the peninsula between Sturgeon Bay and the tip. It is the only one you can climb up into if you want -- almost 100 steps- we didn't opt to go up.
We also finally got to go out on the pier where the coast guard station is and the Sturgeon Bay Canal dumps out into Lake Michigan. You can see the mouth of the canal to the left of the station and lighthouse. There were also some very nice fish swimming close to the pier. They say you can even catch trout here in the spring and fall.
Jim got a picture of some baby Cedar Wax Wings hiding in the sumac. They were too big for their nest but they couldn't really fly much yet. They were sitting on a branch waiting for Mom to come and feed them.
