Michigan Audubon’s Signature Events

Spring Fling
Canceled for 2023

Spring Fling: A Celebration of Spring Migration at Whitefish Point Bird Observatory was a small event that began as a kickoff weekend for the spring field season at WPBO as well as a kickoff for spectacular birding at the Point on Lake Superior in Paradise, Michigan. For those of you who have come to know and love this event, we are sorry to share this disappointing news! We will share a great deal of engaging content through our social media channels, website, and eNews, so please stay tuned and connected to WPBO and join our mailing list to receive monthly updates.

Tawas Point Migration
Formerly Tawas Point Birding Festival

AuSable Valley Audubon, a chapter of Michigan Audubon, will not be hosting a birding event at Tawas Point State Park, in Iosco County this year. Please contact AuSable Valley Audubon if you have questions.

Cerulean Warbler Tours

Michigan Audubon is delighted to announce that we are offering Cerulean Warbler guided tours again this spring! From May 5–19, 2023, daily tours will embark at 8 a.m. from the Otis Farm Bird Sanctuary in Hastings to search for this dazzling warbler. Experienced guides will lead this caravan tour to several Cerulean Warbler nesting territories within the Barry State Game Area, where you may see numerous other deciduous forest species as well.
