Join us to look for spring migrants, including early warblers, vireos, thrushes, and orioles, and resident birds in this Important Bird Area. Learn how the Lakeshore Nature Preserve serves as a critical stopover habitat for migrating birds, and how in bad weather, Picnic Point can produce spectacular collections of fallout migrants.
