The American Bird Conservancy and the National Audubon Society have designated several locations as internationally Important Bird Areas. [2]
Among the more uncommon animals seen in the Upper Peninsula include rare cougar sightings, a few of which have been officially confirmed by wildlife agencies. [3] Although th Upper Peninsula was home to cougars in the past, they were hunted out during the early years of settlement. The nearest stable cougar populations today are in the Dakotas. However, solitary transient cougars are known to travel hundreds of miles, and have been spotted throughout the northern Midwest, including the Upper Peninsula. [4] Another uncommon animal is the locally-famous Albino Squirrel of Michigan Tech, in Houghton. This squirrel is often seen scampering around the Michigan Technological University campus and surrounding neighborhoods, and even has a Facebook groupdedicated to it (which includes photographs). Although it has been given a unique name, it is unclear whether there is just one or multiple albino squirrels in Houghton.
There are a number of governmental institutions and public lands located in the Upper Peninsula, as detailed below:
Calumet Historic District in Houghton County. Grand Hotel in Mackinac County. Mackinac Island in Mackinac County. Quincy Mining Company Historic District in Houghton County. St. Ignace Mission in Mackinac County.
Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties. Fort Wilkins Historic State Park in Keweenaw County.
There are several songs on this album that touch on themes prevalent within the British Neopagan community, as shown by the following song references:
