Although the spring equinox was marked by snow throughout much of Michigan, the recent sunshine in the Lower Peninsula has everyone excited for warmer days and chasing spring turkeys. With this seasonal transition also comes the return of many migratory bird species who fly south for the winter. According to the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology, birds migrate to move from areas of low/decreasing resources to areas of high/increasing resources. With Michigan winters bringing cold weather and snow to the state, there are more food resources available in the southern part of the country. Thus, birds migrate south during the winter where there is more food available. Once spring finally arrives, they migrate north to take advantage of increasing insect populations and nesting locations ( Cornell University Lab of Ornithology ). Spring in Michigan is a great time to watch for these migrating birds; some start arriving early in March while others wait until May. Red-winged blackbirds, sandhill cranes, Canada geese, and turkey vultures are among the early migrators. Keep an eye out for these species because once they arrive, it’s a sure sign that spring is well on its way.
