Visit our designated bird cities where conservation efforts have en- hanced the environment for wildlife and ensured world-class bird watching opportunities year-round. BIRDING CHECKLIST Once you spot each of these common Door County birds, check them off your list. Osprey Red-breasted Nuthatch Brown Thrasher Downy Woodpecker White-crowned Sparrow Baltimore Oriole House Finch Great Blue Heron Common Female Merganser Northern Cardinal Bird photos by: Paul Regnier SEASONALITY OF BIRDS A great deal of wildlife watching and bird watching in particular, depends upon timing. Spring is the perfect time to spot gulls, terns, cranes, pelicans, colorful warblers in Red-bellied Woodpecker Tundra Swan Turkey Vulture Sandhill Cranes the woodlands, and other waterfowl among flooded fields and thawing shoreline. As summer arrives, keep a watchful eye out for a sighting of the beautiful indigo bunting, scar- let tanager, and rose-breasted grosbeak. With the arrival of fall, the familiar sound of geese fills the air as they migrate south for the winter, leaving behind a variety of year-round feathered friends that includes cedar waxwings, American goldfinches and bald eagles.

  • Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan
    Chapter 3: The Environment Chapter 3: The Environment In this chapter: Introduction Climate Island Types, Geology and Soils Archeological and Cultural Values Social and Economic Context Environmental Contaminants Natural Resources Associated Plans and Initiatives Habitat Management Visitor Services Archaeological and Cultural Resources Management Law Enforcement Throughout this document, five national wildlife refuges (NWRs, refuges) are discussed individually—such as the Gravel Island NWR or the Green Bay NWR. This document also discusses all five NWRs collectively as one entity and when doing so, refers to the group as the “Great Lakes islands refuges” or “Great Lakes islands NWRs.” Introduction General Island Geological and Ecological Background Michigan and Wisconsin are fortunate to have many islands that form a “waterscape” unlike any found elsewhere in the world. Of the three Upper Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan, and Superior), there exists approximately 200 islands within the confines of the states in Lake Huron, 76 in Lake Michigan, and 175 in Lake Superior (not counting 86 in the St. Mary’s River) (Soule, 1993). The glacial history of island chains differs across the Upper Great Lakes. Glacial till overlying limestone bedrock forms the bulk of the Beaver Island group in northern Lake Michigan, although Pismire Island (part of Michigan Islands NWR) is an example of a sand and gravel bar island. Conversely, most islands in Lake Superior are formed of igneous and metamorphic bedrock, with the Huron Islands (of Huron NWR) being the result of granite upthrusts (Soule, 1993). Post-glacial history of these islands also varies. National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS, Refuge System) records indicate that many of the islands of Michigan Islands NWR were either impacted by human habitation (Gull Island) or by other uses (e.g., Hat Island was used as bombing range prior to refuge establishment) (Gates, 1950).

PREFACE TO 1974 EDITION The seven years since Death’s Door’s publication could hardly have flowed past without washing up a few more facts and insights. We suggest to the reader of this new edition that he glance at pages 29 through 32 before beginning the book. This will permit him to blend the new material with the original text. A simple fact may be of interest: Practically all known marine disasters laid at Death’s Door have been suffered in attempting to pass through the strait (chiefly in the days of sailing ships), while most local hardships and losses — and even the well-known legend itself — are concerned with attempts to cross the notorious passage. And although the Door’s threat has gradually diminished in the wake of technological progress, these waters still work their influence dn daily life in this vicinity. Those who live upon — and those who visit — the islands of Town of Washington can hardly be unaware even today of timeless Porte des Morts’ disturbing presence.
