October Birding on the North Shore: Searching for Migrants

Course Overview

Dave returns for a late-fall session of Searching For Migrants. Many of the resident birds will have already left for their wintering grounds, so the number of birds may have dwindled, but the possibility of spotting rarities increases during the late-fall migration. During this two-day session, we will travel to many well-known migration sites, including the Croftville Road, Five Mile Rock, Paradise Beach, Judge C. R. Magney State Park, Hovland, Grand Portage State Park, and Superior Game Refuge. We will search Lake Superior shoreline and adjacent land areas for migrating waterfowl and other species. On day two, we will visit Good Harbor Bay, Cascade River State Park and the Spruce Creek area, which involve moderate hiking. This trip will also include some inland birding to look for other migrating species.
