Lower Long Lake and its neighboring lakes, canals, and wetlands form one of Michigan’s quiet natural treasures — a vibrant sanctuary where the sky is alive with wings. This artistic photobook reveals the remarkable flying wildlife that thrives in this unique ecosystem, offering a rare glimpse into a world many pass by without ever truly seeing.
Across its pages, the book demonstrates why the Lower Long Lake region in Bloomfield Hills deserves to be called a genuine “Bird’s Paradise.” Dozens of species — from majestic Bald Eagles to delicate Hummingbirds — coexist here in a complete aerial food chain, present in every season and every stage of life. Their abundance and diversity tell a powerful story about the health and harmony of this environment.
The photographs capture these birds in breathtaking moments: soaring, hunting, nesting, raising their young, and simply being part of the landscape that sustains them. Each image is a celebration of nature’s artistry and the quiet drama unfolding above the waterline.
Ultimately, this book is both a tribute and a reminder — a homage to the beauty surrounding Lower Long Lake and a call to preserve the habitats that allow its flying wildlife to flourish for generations to come.
