Migrating birds confused by lighted buildings, often leading to high collision and mortality rates

Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Birds are beginning to migrate north. The Great Lakes flyway means a large number of those birds will be flying over Michigan. It also means at night birds will be crashing into buildings with lights on. Artificial light confuses them.

Senate GOP authorizes lawsuit against Whitmer

The Michigan Senate voted along party lines Thursday to authorize a lawsuit against Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The Senate Republican majority approved a potential challenge to Whitmer’s use of line-item vetoes in budget bills. The bills were meant to rein in Whitmer’s use of emergency powers during the COVID-19 crisis.  Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) said it’s time to let people and businesses make their own decisions on how to be safe during the pandemic.“The people of Michigan know what to do, and they’re just waiting to be informed, inspired, encouraged, and then trusted, he said. And right now, we’re still in an environment where this governor does not trust the people of Michigan to do the right thing.”

Treaty rights acknowledged for first time in oil pipeline s controversial history

On any given day, Jacques LeBlanc Jr. spends as many as 14 hours on the water catching whitefish. Out on his boat by the time the sun breaks the horizon over the Great Lakes, he moves between Michigan, Huron, and Superior for the best spots. In this part of northern Michigan, at the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula, fishing is a staple of LeBlanc’s Bay Mills Indian Community, one of the Sault Ste. Marie bands of Chippewa. Fishing on the Great Lakes is no easy task. It is threatened by the changing climate, disturbed by invasive species, and overrun by unruly weather to daily operation costs. But just south of LeBlanc’s tribal community lies another impediment that endangers his way of life. It is Line 5, the twin petroleum pipelines that run underwater for five miles across the Straits of Mackinac.
