Wildlife Viewing In Michigan

There is a sense of magic that occurs when sunlight filters through tall trees on a misty morning in the woods.. The solitude can take your breath away. Add a pair of binoculars and a compass, and you have the basic elements to explore wildlife viewing. It's as simple as that. A field guild will enhance your experience even more. Granted, mornings are not for everyone, so choose a time that works for you. Activity among birds and woodland creatures will vary with the time of day and season you choose for exploring.

In this hurry-up world of ours, it's easy to overlook some of the treasures we have close at hand in Michigan. Many viewing areas can be accessed free of charge.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reports a growing trend in wildlife viewing.. Their online Wildlife Viewing Guide is filled with maps and ideas for making your adventure a memorable one.
