Yeah not far. Down near Michigan International Speedway of all places.
I live in a tiny town of around 150 people but I can see into the woods from the house plus I’m on the lake so we have the geese, swans, cranes, herons, ducks etc. I just saw the first Baltimore Oriole of spring today.
America has so much to offer. All ya have to do is figure out what gives you peace ( which always comes in moments interrupted with mini and sometimes maxi chaos-lol ) and make sure you can tap into it frequently. With nature, there is always a surprise in store...yesterday my hsb saw a duck chase away a muskrat on a mini island that his new family was approaching. He made such a loud mess and splash of things that event he birds got upset! hee hee
