A Walk on the Beach of Lake Michigan

 This morning I saw and heard a Caspian_Tern/sounds flying, a young herring gull trying to eat a wad of bubble gum--it kept sticking to its beak--a lot of zebra mussel shells (an invasive species to the Great Lakes) some finger nail clam shells,  and I saw the way the waves had carved scallops in the sand.  I walked out to the place where the
 Grand River empties into Lake 
Michigan and there were people
 catching perch and some were
going out in boats for salmon.
