Supporting Avian Research in Michigan
Learn more about our ongoing efforts to support avian research in Michigan.
Whitefish Point Bird Observatory (WPBO)
Our research initiatives at Whitefish Point Bird Observatory (WPBO) stand as a beacon of knowledge and conservation in the realm of bird migration. By monitoring bird movements through this critical migration corridor, we not only deepen our understanding of these intricate patterns but also raise public awareness about the significance of birds and their habitats.
Our efforts at WPBO contribute to building long-term data sets in bird migration, ensuring the protection of vital bird populations and their ecosystems for generations to come.
WPBO is just one part of our broader mission. Michigan Audubon is actively involved in safeguarding wildlife habitats through our network of sanctuaries across the state. Our initiatives are designed to protect all avian species that call Michigan home.
From conducting vital research to restoring habitats and educating the public, we are tirelessly working to ensure that future generations can experience the wonder of Michigan’s diverse birdlife.
