Habitats include the southernmost extent of northern forest in Wisconsin, oak woodlands, riparian forest, recreated prairie, 85-miles of river and stream corridors, a diversity of wetlands, and 14-miles of Lake Michigan shoreline.<\/p>\n<h3>Ornithological Importance<\/h3>\n<p>The combination of diverse habitats and this site\u2019s proximity to Lake Michigan make it an important corridor for migratory birds. Historically, 351 species of birds have been documented within Milwaukee County, and 230-240 species are seen annually within the Park System. Even natural areas less than an acre in size have yielded nearly 200 species of birds during migration! The other asset of this site is that it provides ready access to a large and diverse population of urban people. Bird conservation education is a priority for the Park System and staff readily engage citizens through hands-on habitat improvement projects, community science, and public presentations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-852-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-852-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div id=\"attachment_853\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-853\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-853 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Warnimont_MilwaukeeIBA-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Michigan shoreline at Warnimont &amp; Grant Parks\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Warnimont_MilwaukeeIBA-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Warnimont_MilwaukeeIBA-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Warnimont_MilwaukeeIBA-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Warnimont_MilwaukeeIBA-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Warnimont_MilwaukeeIBA.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Michigan shoreline at Warnimont &amp; Grant Parks<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Site Description This site encompasses 75% (15,000+ acres) of the remaining greenspace in Wisconsin\u2019s most urban county.
