Pileated Woodpeckers
Cardinals, Blue Jays, Finches, Doves, various Woodpeckers, and more birds than I recognize.
Loons.
When you see one on the lake, please stay clear. They will breed here only if they are undisturbed and wake action on the island is kept to a minimum.
Snapping Turtles. They also like to cross the road, so if you see a lump in the road, try to miss it.
Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Perch, Bluegill in the lake.
Trout in the Little Manistee a mile down the road.
And the occasional ice fisherman
