Whitefish Point

The Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, located 11 miles north of Paradise, Michigan, serves as a premier migration hot-spot within the Great Lakes region. Acting as a natural migration corridor for thousands of birds each spring and fall, the Observatory is a Globally Important Bird Area that has recorded over 340 bird species, providing critical research and conservation efforts led by Michigan Audubon. Despite currently pausing its owl banding program, the Observatory remains committed to advancing owl research and avian conservation, while adapting its initiatives to better serve bird habitats and the community. With a focus on ethical standards and bird welfare, the Observatory continues to engage and educate the public about bird migration and the environment through ongoing research and events.
