April 24, 25 & 26
-- Whitefish Point Bird Observatory Spring Fling - Being
the northeastern tip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula,
Whitefish Point is a phenomenal concentration spot for
migrating raptors, water birds, and song birds. The
surrounding land and water features create a natural
corridor, funneling thousands of birds directly to the
Point each spring and fall as they travel thorough the
Great Lakes region. This makes for spectacular
bird-watching and provides tremendous opportunities to
study and monitor bird populations.
