The Straits of Mackinac area is an important pathway for migrating birds. In spring the tapering shape of the Lower Peninsula funnels
large concentrations of migrating birds to Mackinaw City. Sometimes these birds linger here as they wait for the right conditions to cross the Straits and continue their journey north. In the fall, many of these same birds re-cross the Straits as they head to their winter homes. Because of its geography, the Straits have become one of the best places in North America to observe and study migrating raptors.
