Birding is a year-round activity on the Copper Country Trail. Thousands of hawks swoop through the area on their spring and fall migrations. Other species like the Black-capped Chickadees, Blue Jays, Pileated Woodpeckers, Common Ravens and even eagles make the area their home year around.
For the best opportunities to see birds go to the Keweenaw National Historical Park. The boreal forests, wetlands, shoreline and harbors and backyard habitats of the Keweenaw make it the perfect area for migratory and winter birds. Spend your time watching over 15 different kinds of hawks, falcons, Turkey Vultures, owls and eagles. In the summer, watch for robins, Sandhill Cranes, goldfinches, juncos, the Common Raven, the Common Loon and Blue Herons.
Come any time of the year for any kind of bird: predatory, aquatic, or singing. Slip through the Keweenaw Forests and use your binoculars to catch a glimpse of your favorite bird.
