Bring Your Best Binoculars

Thanks to its unique real estate where two biotic provinces overlap — bringing a blend of flora and fauna you won't find anyplace else — the Great Lakes Bay is a birder’s oasis.

Seek new sightings on 142 shoreline miles of Saginaw Bay Birding Trail, or go wildlife-spotting within a U.S. Important Bird Area. From American avocets to American white pelicans, yellow-headed blackbirds to long-eared owls — you’ll be amazed by what you’ll see here throughout the year.
