Site Description<\/h3>\n

This site consists of a sand spit and marsh along Green Bay, on the mouth of the Menominee River, and contains Green Bay\u2019s only true dune complex, a system of sand ridges and dunes resulting from wave action and sand deposition, on the bar\u2019s eastern edge.\u00a0 The sand spit shelters a lagoon and large area of shallow water with emergent vegetation.\u00a0 The site encompasses Seagull Bar State Natural Area.<\/p>\n

Ornithological Importance<\/h3>\n

This site is considered critical habitat for the federally endangered piping plover.\u00a0 Piping plovers nested here in 2001 for the first time in 50 years, although the nest failed due to predation and there have been no attempts since.\u00a0 The site is also a major migratory stopover site, attracting hundreds, sometimes thousands, of shorebirds depending on water levels in Green Bay, and diving ducks congregate in the area, particularly during severe weather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
