Hi all.
I think a white night is when in some countries either when they are extrimly north or extrimly south have days where the sun doesn't set during some of the Summer days.
My questions is did you happen to experience a white night? What is the feeling like? Do the birds sing during the night as well? Does the tempreture stays the same?
It would be interesting to see some replies.
But in countries like that i wouldn't want to imagine what the Winter would be like haha. I don't even want to think about it.

Greetings Nikos,

About these, White Nights, I know not about except to say...

Michigan has various kinds of various birds in various locations

through out this State.

Like in Northern Michigan/Life-Flo area, there is a bird called,

The Whip-per-will *not certain as to spelling.. just the sound

This bird sings forth as it were, sounds like, whip-per-will, and only

North Michigan do I hear this Bird and not say in Metro Detroit/North area,

A City location in the southern part of the State of Michigan/usa.

The situation with the Whip-per-will, is that when I get opportunity to hear

it's lovely vocals, as it were..it is usually near dusk/evening hours of the day..

...also whether or no the Whip-per-will stays in Michigan over the Winter..

This Nikos, I do not know for...

Usually am I at Life-Flo during warmer Summer months..some SpringSeason days and some AutumnalSeason days though are nice/lovely.

...due to coldness of the Northern Climate of the Michigan State..

Cold Bitter winds fly in off of Lake Michigan.

All this cold weather talk and Bbbrr..feeling chilly...

Going now for my kitchen calls...Freshly brewed coffee awaits.
