Now in its 16th year, the DNR FalconCam provides a close-up, high-resolution view of the seasonal behaviors associated with nesting, such as courtship displays and nest preparation. Viewers may also hear occasional calls by the falcons.

Michigan’s ‘Omer Suckerfest’ is time for anglers to unite – and for white suckers to run

The man next to me, tending to a barrel smoker that was billowing smoke, handed me a piece of sucker on the end of a plastic fork – before I had even introduced myself.
That’s sucker season on the Rifle River. You don’t stay a stranger for long. Every spring, a stretch of river running through the small town of Omer, Michigan on US-23 becomes one of the state’s most underrated fishing destinations.
