Birding is alive and wild here

The jack pine stands of Northern Michigan are the exclusive home to the rare Kirtland's warbler and more than 300 other species of birds that spend at least part of the year in Michigan. The region provides hundreds of thousands of acres of extraordinary natural areas for bird watching, hiking, walking, and picnicking. National and State Parks, Forests, and Nature Preserves offer pristine natural habitats for many species. Many areas will offer guided tours, educational materials, or guidance to help the novice bird watcher. From coastal wetlands to remote island forests, bird watching thrives in Northern Michigan.
