Masters of Air, Lovers of Water

As much as birds are masters of the sky, most of them also have equally powerful links to water — especially in our Great Lakes region, where the landscape is dominated by lakes, rivers, streams, marshes and wetlands. So it’s no wonder that the migratory birds that spend time in the Great Lakes region do so as much because of water as air. This online guide features 20 migratory birds common to the Great Lakes region, and explores their special relationships with water. Be prepared to be surprised as you see birds from this new angle.
