MARQUETTE -- There has been a rather strange sighting on the frozen shoreline of Lake Superior off Marquette.

Penguins were perched on the ice just behind the Welcome Center along US-41 in South Marquette.

We all know this has been a tough winter, but really?

The seven tuxedo-clad birds stood stiffly in the brisk wind.  They never moved.  That's because they're cardboard cut-outs.

Nobody knows who put them there, but they were sure to turn a few heads.
