The Wisconsin Stopover Initiative is developing a deeper understanding of how our western Lake Superior shoreline supports migratory birds on their amazing journey from the Southern Hemisphere to Canada. Camp Amnicon , an outdoor adventure camp in Douglas County , WI is opening its trails to the public on May 7th to meet with local, state, and national ornithologists to visit the diverse coastal habitats of the camp.
