Brule River State Forest - Mouth of the Brule River
https://ebird.org/wi/hotspot/L1231815
Habitat: Open Water (Lake Superior), Beach and Marsh.
Best Birds: The mouth of the Brule River is a complex of a bay-mouth bar that protects the river and estuary lagoon that is heavily used as a stop-over by migrating shore and water birds, including Semipalmated Plover, Bonaparte’s Gull, Caspian Tern, Common Tern and Forster’s Tern. Shorebirds are best observed by walking the sandy beach that can extend for miles to the east during low water. A close-up view of the river and estuary is possible with a canoe or kayak launched at the public boat landing at the mouth. Breeding birds include Winter Wren, Blackburnian Warbler, Northern Parula and Nashville Warbler.
Directions: 37 miles E of Superior/11 miles north of Brule on Cty Hwy B, then west and north 3.6 miles on Brule River Rd. Brule River Road follows the Bois Brule River and provides roadside birding in the Brule River Boreal Forest SNA.
