An ever changing spectacle of wildlife - Pine Island hosts over 175 bird species and is home to 1/4 of the climate threatened species in North America, .
Located at the intersection of numerous bird migration tributaries, Pine Island provides a green sanctuary for vast numbers of migrating songbirds and waterfowl that pass through the area in the spring and fall looking for a safe haven to rest and refuel.
Audubon’s Sanctuary in Corolla is host to hundreds of individual species and more are being identified and recorded regularly.
