How exciting! My first earful of a common redstart. Merlin was giving me the red dot 🔴 , but after twenty minutes of clear and incessant wheeting it had to relent and correct itself 😆 #birdwatch

Northern #Michigan #WildlifeHaven upgrade will transform habitat for #RareBirds
Mon, July 6, 2026
HOUGHTON LAKE, MI - "The Michigan Department of Natural Resources plans to rehabilitate the South Unit at #HoughtonLake Flats this summer, replacing aging infrastructure at the popular wildlife viewing and fishing destination in Roscommon County.
"The project will modernize the 350-acre #wetland's water control system, replacing the concrete dam, pumphouse, underground pipes and related structures with modern equipment. Construction is expected to begin this summer once water levels drop and be completed in the fall.
"The rehabilitation addresses infrastructure problems that have hampered wildlife management at the site located just off U.S. 127. The water pump failed several years ago, eliminating the DNR's ability to control water levels to enhance habitat conditions.
" 'The current dike system, which includes several miles of dikes and a dam, provides impounded water for many species of wildlife,' said Mark Boersen, a DNR wildlife biologist based in Roscommon. 'However, several years ago the water pump failed, taking away the DNR's ability to manipulate water levels to improve the wildlife habitat. Additionally, time has taken a toll on the South Unit dam so that it can no longer safely and efficiently hold water.'
"The original dike system was constructed in the 1960s to offset environmental impacts from building U.S. 127. #HoughtonLakeFlats draws water from nearby Houghton Lake, Michigan's largest inland lake.
"Public access to the South Unit gazebo and fishing platform will be closed during construction, but the North Unit will remain open. The North Unit encompasses 335 acres of wetland north of County Road 300.
"Boersen noted the flats attract visitors for waterfowl hunting, #Fishing and #WildlifeViewing, with several uncommon species making appearances.
" 'Several secretive and sometimes rare species of wildlife are observed at the flats, such as #TrumpeterSwans, #BlackTerns, #osprey and the #AmericanBittern,' he said. "Although the fishing dock will be closed during construction, visitors are welcome to fish and #birdwatch from the dikes or from hand-launched boats.'
"The project is part of the DNR's broader effort to address aging dams and dike systems across Michigan."

Long-tailed tits in the apple tree… I heard them coming so I was in place to watch them. Such delicate, lovely flying teaspoons. #birdwatch

Just spotted a robin sprawled in the dirt and had a minor heart attack before I remembered that's what birds do in this sunshine – though I haven't seen it in years! Here's a photo from 10 years back when all the birds in the garden were sunbathing together. #birdwatch

Apparently this spotted flycatcher shouldn’t have been there yesterday, but it’s there clear as day on my recording. #birdwatch

Really enjoyed doing the RSPB Big Birdwatch with the Cathays Wild Gardeners group today. Hoping to join the regular volunteering sessions this year.
