Bellow Island lies a little over a mile off the coast of Leelanau Peninsula in Northport Bay. It has been owned and operated by the Leelanau Conservancy since 1995.[2] The island is preserved as a sanctuary for of herring gulls. A deteriorating cottage on south side is the only structure on the island. It was built in 1910 by Edward Taylor Ustick Sr. The cottage and island ownership passed through his family until 1948 when the house was destroyed by vandals.[3] The island is now sealed off from the public and no humans are allowed to disturb the nesting birds.

gollark: I don't think "deterministic generation of choices and probabilities, random picking of one" is free will *either*.
gollark: But you can if some weird process you don't understand happens to spit out different data each time?
gollark: You can still "decide" things even if that decision is because of deterministic physical processes...
gollark: Free will is kind of too fuzzily defined to actually do much with...
