Spring birds in Michigan

Michigan's two peninsulas and Great Lakes shoreline create a migration highway for raptors and songbirds. During spring, bird activity is shaped by migration and nesting along the Mississippi Flyway.

Where to look

Explore forest, wetland, urban habitat, including Whitefish Point Bird Observatory.

Observation timing

Early morning is usually most productive. Watch woodland edges, flowering gardens, wetlands, and migration stopovers.
