About Allegan State Game Area--South of 118th Avenue
The mature, primarily oak woods at Ely Lake Campground host a variety of forest species, like Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, and Scarlet Tanager. The two-track to Little Tom Lake is worth walking for species like Yellow-throated Vireo, Veery, and American Redstart. Hooded Warbler may also be found on occasion in the wooded areas along the roadways near the campground.

The Swan Creek Trail around Swan Creek Pond is, although a long walk round-trip, worth checking out. The best place to start is by going to the trailhead on 118th Avenue approximately 0.5 miles east of the headquarters. Conversely, there is a trailhead on 116th Avenue near the bridge over Swan Creek. It's best to walk north from here on the east side of the creek, as the west side is often difficult to follow.

From the south trailhead, look for Red-shouldered Hawk and Louisiana Waterthrush. A number of other warbler species may be observed here, too. From the north trailhead, listen for Worm-eating Warbler which has been found here on occasion in the past. From: Chartier, Allen T., and Jerry Ziarno. A Birder's Guide To Michigan.
