October is Raptor Month!
Raptors play a key role in keeping nature balanced. They manage rodent numbers and help control disease.
Their presence often signals a healthy environment. When one circles overhead, it means the land below is working as it should. Watching them reminds us how these hunters keep ecosystems strong. Explore the world of raptors in one of the gift shop's many field guides to Michigan birds!
