WHITEFISH POINT, Mich. 7:17 a.m.: The first birds of the day.
``Red-necked grebe. I count 11.''
Michigan is behind him and to his left. The sun is to his right, though barely.
With 22 mph winds blowing directly into his already sunburned face, Adam Byrne is just short of paradise.
Actually, Paradise is 11 miles south of here. Twelve miles north, across Lake Superior, are the empty shores and forested bluffs of Canada.
From beyond those bluffs, thousands of birds are coming. And before they are gone, too quickly, past this point and south somewhere, they must be watched.
