Bird Watching at Indiana Dunes National Park. Bird Watching - Indiana Dunes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) Located at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, the national park is an important feeding and resting area for migrating birds. Lake Michigan influences the migration patterns of bird species. During the fall migration, southbound birds follow the north-south shoreline and are funneled into the Indiana Dunes. The large expanse of open water and miles of shoreline also attract large numbers of wintering birds. The national park plays an important role in the annual Indiana Dunes Birding Festival, which take place the third weekend in May. This incredible four-day event showcases dozens of birding spots around the region with expert led outings.
