Fred,

I have been birding both locations for decades. Data from eBird hotspots
shows that Lake St. Clair Metropark has an accumulated list of 293 species (
https://ebird.org/hotspot/L388494), while Belle Isle has an accumulated
list of 261 species (https://ebird.org/hotspot/L275577). If you're asking
specifically about banding, there are significant habitat differences
between the two sites, so comparing them is probably not appropriate. And
I've only just started banding as of last October on Belle Isle, where
there is 27 years of data from Lake St. Clair Metropark.
