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."

Despite standing up to 5 feet tall and weighing up to 16 pounds, Shoebills possess an impressive 8-foot wingspan, making them fully capable of flight.
These prehistoric-looking birds are classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with an estimated wild population of only 3,000 to 5,000 mature individuals. They face significant threats due to wetland habitat degradation, human disturbance, nesting area destruction, and climate change.

We had another new visitor in the garden early this morning! I've seen these when I volunteered at Wild Bird Fund in NYC but never in the wild. I just learned that they sometimes venture into gardens when it is very cold and the ground is too frozen for them to dig for bugs. They figured out that garden soil is often a little softer. So amazing 🤩

Good morning!--err afternoon. This juvenile white ibis is a little off track but I was happy to see him out on the shores of #lakechamplain. Hopefully he finds his way south when the temps drop. #birds #birding #rarebirds #photography

Perhaps the most exciting bird we saw that day was the Little Bustard. We saw 3 different male birds. This bird is quite difficult to see, besides it's camoflauge, it's habitat is being destroyed so there are not many of them left in our province. Sadly the thing that is destroying the habitat the most are solar farms, thousands and thousands. It's horrific to see. #Nature #Birds #Spain #Wildlife #Photography #rarebirds #Naturephotography #Birdphotography #Birdsofmastodon #Andalucia

After quietly traversing the heavily wooded, brushy area around a small, secluded pond last October, my husband and I saw this rare pair of Sandhill Cranes who utterly charmed us with their calls and antics.

✨ Humble brag 🤩
One of my special interests is birds and whilst out birding with a friend this weekend we found something interesting! The photos were taken down my friends scope using my phone and so I apologise for the quality.
This rather plain looking bird is actually quite an exciting find! A lesser yellow legged (Tringa flavipes) 💕

UPDATE: Additional photos have confirmed this bird’s eye has a light blue iris. Thus this is a leucistic Raven and not albinistic.
This was shared by Kenai Wildlife Refuge. A leucistic raven has been spotted in the Kenai/Nikiski area and photographed by Zak Smith. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience! 💗

Mountain Bluebirds are some of the most beautiful birds we have in Canada, but are not usually seen where I live. However, I heard of one from eBird's rare bird alert and decided to check it out, see if I could spot it. I was the first one out this morning at 8 am and didn't see it at first, but after a bit, there it was! A gorgeous bird!
