HOLLAND PONDS

50385 Ryan Road, Shelby Township

More than 150 bird species are attracted to this site because it accepts flowing water from wastewater treatment plants. These ponds and marshlands attract geese and ducks - particularly marsh ducks - but it also acts as a safe haven for one of southeast Michigan’s largest Great Blue Heron rookeries. The herons are sensitive to nearby human activity and may abandon their nests if they feel threatened.
