Some 2 to 3 billion years ago, the area that now includes the five Great Lakes belonged to a growing continent bounded by shallow seas and offshore volcanic islands. Mobile plates moving over the earth's molten interior alternately drifted apart and together, colliding or sliding atop one another and creating mountains and volcanoes. Lava flowed across the landscape, accumulating in thick layers that eventually cooled and sagged. The resulting depression became the site of Lake Superior almost 1 billion years later. Wind and water whittled away the mountains and volcanoes, but the rocks created by this geological unrest became the bedrock for what is now Isle Royale National Park, the Porcupine Mountains and the Trap Hills in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore at Lake Superior's southern shore. Half a million years ago, the earth's climate cooled, and a continental glacier, spreading across thousands of miles from a centre near Hudson Bay in Canada, covered the entire state of Michigan. Ten or more advances of heavy ice, sometimes one-quarter of a mile thick, advanced, retreated, advanced, and retreated. As the last glacier chilling the upper half of North America retreated 12,000 to 15,000 years ago, a remarkable ecosystem emerged on what is now Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Rushing melt water forged rivers while retreating glaciers broke in stranded, detached chunks that melted beneath glacial debris to form depressions in the landscape called kettles. Some of these kettles became glacial lakes harbouring the fish that ducks, eagles, and loons (divers) eat. Shallower kettles became bogs and wetlands where American bitterns, herons, and cranes feed on aquatic delicacies. In the flatter, central and eastern Upper Peninsular, a mosaic of marshes and sedge meadows developed, some deep, others shallow, depending upon the lay of the land. Lake Michigan separates the Upper Peninsula from the Lower Peninsula, with islands dotting the water between the two. 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, a warming climate pushed the boreal and mixed forests north out of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, Wisconsin, and northern Illinois; but areas of the Upper Peninsula, where the climate stayed cooler, became a transitional boreal forest zone, a connection to Michigan's northern neighbour, Canada. Michigan has the longest freshwater shoreline in the world, 3,200 miles along four of the five Great Lakes. The state also contains 36,000 miles of rivers and streams and 100 scenic waterfalls. If you're in Michigan, you're never more than six miles from a body of water. The state contains more than 1,000 state parks and recreation areas, and large tracts of forested state land. The Michigan Bird Records Committee lists 414 species of birds accepted as part of the avifauna in the state. One of them, the globally endangered Kirtland's Warbler breeds in the northeastern part of the Lower Peninsula. Tied to jack pine habitat, this bird's numbers are tenuous. Another smaller colony of Kirtland's Warbler is in the Upper Peninsula. |

Whitefish Point Bird Observatory
ObservatorySatellite View
WPBO is non-profit membership organization established in 1978 to document and study the birds in the Great Lakes Region, with special emphasis on migration. Located adjacent to Whitefish Point National Wildlife Refuge, the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory (WPBO) documents the chronology and volume of migrating bird populations through the Whitefish Peninsula Migration Corridor. Being the north-eastern 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, funnelling thousands of birds directly to The Point each spring and fall as they travel through the Great Lakes region. This makes for spectacular bird-watching and provides tremendous opportunities to study and monitor bird populations.

2000 [May] - Phil Davis - Search for Kirtland’s Warblers
ReportBackground: Barbara and I decided to take advantage of a pair of free airline tickets that would expire on 6/1/2000 and finally make the jihad to Michigan for the Kirtland's Warbler. This was to be an out and back destination trip. We could only squeeze in two days for the trip before the airline tickets expired, so we decided to take one of the Federal Government's warbler tours out of either Grayling or Mio, Michigan.
