Isle Royale National Park
CCA has done quite a few migration studies at Isle Royale.
First was a fall study at Blake Point by Youngman in 2009.
Then came a spring study at Blake Point by Jason St. Pierre and a fall Blake count by Greg Cleary, both in 2013.
In 2014 Youngman went to Blake again in the fall.
In May of 2017 Youngman and Neufeld went to count waterbirds at Rainbow Point at the SW tip of the island.
In May of 2018 Tim Baerwald and Youngman went to Blake Point and Passage Island to do simultaneous counts.
We hope to do simultaneous fall counts in 2019 at Washington Island and Blake Point - the two extreme ends of the main island. All of these counts were between six and ten days in length.
