Manitou Island Bird Survey Upper Michigan Keweenaw New 2009 photos and trip reports on the News page. In 2002 a group of Keweenaw birders began a survey of the birds of Manitou Island, off the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Lake Superior. Through 2007 we've made seventeen visits to Manitou totaling 63 days and we've recorded 204 species. We've documented a very large raptor migration to Manitou in the spring. In both 2002 and 2003 we recorded over 700 raptors on Manitou in just a few days. On the 24th of April 2006 we recorded over 1300 raptors in the air at one time! During four visits during the breeding season we've recorded a list of over 80 species as at least possible breeders and have confirmed 12. Both our spring and fall visits show a significant flow of waterbirds passing by Manitou.
