Birds Of The Indiana Dunes
The Indiana Dunes (State Park and National Lakeshore) protect over 15,000 acres (61 km2) of dunes and shoreline. From the barren sand beaches to the inter-dunal ponds and the intervening forest, this area is inhabited by 271 identified species of birds.
Because the area forms part of the Mississippi Flyways, many more species of birds can be observed there during spring and fall migration times.
