About Sleepy Hollow State Park
From November through March, watch for Northern Shrike in the area around the toll-both. Also, watch and listen for the Orchard Oriole in spring and summer, especially along the row of trees to the west of the toll-booth. Continue to the Organizational Campground and hiking trail, which leads through the park's best woodlot. Acadian Flycatcher and other more common woodland birds of southern Michigan can be found here in summer. Continue to Lake Ovid, very attractive to waterfowl. In early spring, large numbers of Common Mergansers, both Scaup species, diving ducks, and Ruddy Duck congregate offshore. Common Loon and Horned Grebe are occasionally seen here too. Finally, cross the short footbridge and hike onto the wooded Island Picnic Area. The large trees and planted pines on this island make this the best area in the park to check for migrant passerines in spring and fall. Source: Chartier, Allen T., and Jerry Ziarno.
