Habitat: Open Water, Beaches, Marsh, Willow, Alder, or Dogwood Swamp, Conifer Bog, Boreal Forest, Mixed Coniferous Forest, Northern Hardwood Forest, Sedge Meadow, Cedar Swamps, Residential/Industrial.
Best Birds: The harbor is excellent for gulls, sometimes including Iceland and Glaucous, and both species of black-backed gulls. Siskiwit Bay on the east and west sides of the harbor is good for big water birds like scoters, grebes,and loons, but watch also for jaegers. American Pipit, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur use the harbor and west beaches.
Walking the beach west from the harbor (bring a spotting scope) or kayaking/canoeing into the bay from the harbor or from Lost Creek Slough gives access to the more westerly beach where more shorebirds and diving birds are usually found than at the harbor. Eared Grebe, and Red-throated and Pacific Loon occur regularly in the western two-thirds of the bay, and Red-necked Grebe are common at times from all vantage points. Sandpipers including American Golden-Plover, Ruddy Turnstone, and Willet use the beach, with most of these species also being found at the harbor and the beach east of the harbor. From all lakeshore vantages, spring migration of landbirds can number in the thousands as birds move west along the shoreline. Golden Eagle is regular from early March to mid-April, sometimes including 10+ individuals in a single day.
Walk around Cornucopia to search for Bohemian Waxwing, crossbills, Evening and Pine Grosbeak, and sometimes Varied Thrush in winter, The best areas to walk in the village are Superior and Michigan Avenues from County Hwy C south to Ash Street and northeast of downtown along Cedar Street. Merlin live in Cornucopia and forests near Lost Creek. Northern Parula and other warblers can be heard singing inside Cornucopia along Hwy 13 near County C, the east end of Cedar Street, and west of where Superior Ave. becomes Old Hwy 13 south and west of downtown.
Lost Creek Slough can be listened to, or canoed/kayaked, from the State Natural Area parking spots, but is best accessed from the end of Blueberry Lane.
