Staging sites are where birds prepare for the biggest show of the year: migration. And the lake provides the perfect platform for this event, for a diversity of water, shore and perching birds.

Some migrating birds benefit from a quick pit-stop at the fall lake, while others enjoy a multi-day layover. Explore the fall lake and discover why it is an important habitat for migrating birds.

In this class, we journal the Canada Goose and the Hooded Merganser.
