- The swamp (Little Swamp Sanctuary)provides habitat for many species; bald eagles nested here for ten years.

- Many of the ponds at Little Swamp Sanctuary are home to cavity nesting birds (Hooded Merganser).

A four mile hike to a cliff at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore gives us a clear view of a peregrine nest. This is a very productive nest; in 2014, four young peregrines fledged from this site.
