Birding in the Indiana Dunes - Unrivaled in the Midwest
The Indiana Dunes is at the crossroads of significant migratory routes, attracting 350 species that either reside or pass through, lured by the expansive waters of Lake Michigan that lead them to diverse landscapes encompassing beaches, dunes, wetlands, and prairies.
But the star attraction for the birders (both local and those who plan to visit just for the birds) are the remarkable migratory events, where you can observe thousands of Sandhill Cranes in a single autumn day or see a hundred hawks over the dunes in a spring day.
