19/29 bird species nesting on #MarionIsland face local extinction by the rodents. In 1949 5 unneutered cats were introduced to the island, the intent being to control the mice. Instead the cats ate the birds & thrived, leading to their final eradication in 1991. The mice persist.
Power Island's interesting history started when first mention by Andrew Blackbird in the late 1800’s. He wrote that the island was originally an Odawa territory but was given to the Ojibwe to settle a conflict. northernmichiganhistory.com/power-island/ #powerisland #marionisland #northernmichigan

#MarionIsland to end the killing of endangered #albatross chicks by ‘#vampire mice’
Restoring islands by killing invasive species is neither easy nor pleasant, but these vital projects bring outstanding outcomes
