Fun Facts

Located along the Lake Michigan shoreline, it serves as a critical stopover for thousands of migratory birds each year, making it a prime location for birdwatching.

The 'Magic Hedge' is a dense thicket of trees and shrubs that attracts a wide variety of bird species, especially during migration seasons.

It is a section of the Montrose Beach and Harbor area, offering diverse habitats including dunes, prairies, and wetlands.

Local volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining the sanctuary, participating in habitat restoration and bird monitoring projects.

Visitors can enjoy the sanctuary throughout all seasons, witnessing different bird species and natural changes.
