Whitefish Point

“The Point”

Located along the southeastern shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s upper peninsula, Whitefish Point is a premier site to watch birds and to do research on avian movement.

While best known for bird migration, Whitefish Point offers countless additional opportunities for naturalists and nature lovers. Friends of Whitefish Point was created in September 2024 by former Whitefish Point Bird Observatory field staff who collectively have over 90 field seasons of experience at Whitefish Point. This group exists so people who care deeply about “The Point” can unite and help restore the bird research and naturalist community at Whitefish Point.
