In operation since 1993, this station had its early focus on hawk and owl migration, but a songbird program was initiated in 1995. The site is dominated by sand dune habitats, with birch, tamarack and mixed forests. An estuary oriented southwest by northeast creates a bottleneck effect for raptors and landbirds, so that southbound migrants that have arrived at the shore follow the north coast rather than crossing the estuary.
Volunteers stay in a nearby town in an old school house.
