SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Petoskey Regional Audubon Society - Beginner Birding along the Bear River
DESCRIPTION:Join Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council staff and the Petoskey Regional Audubon Society members for two guided birding walks along the Bear River this spring. Supported by the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation’s Little Traverse Bay Restoration Fund\, these events are part of a broader effort to connect people with the Bear River corridor and support ongoing restoration work through the Healing the Bear Initiative. \nWhether you’re brand new to birding or have years of experience\, all are welcome to join us in slowing down\, observing\, and appreciating the birds and habitats that make this ecosystem unique. Early May is an ideal time for birding. Brightly colored male birds are singing to attract a mate and establish a territory. The leaves on the trees are just opening up so it is easier to see the birds. \nThe Beginner Birding Walk on May 11 will provide tips and recommendations for those just getting into bird watching\, followed by a walk along the Bear River to see and hear birds. It will take place 8:30am to 10:10am. We will meet at the Bear River Picnic Shelter. Parking is available on Quaintance Ave\, Petoskey.  The walk is free\, but please RSVP by clicking here. \n  \nEvent Details:  \n\nWear Outdoor clothing (dress for the weather)\nWear Sturdy shoes\nBring Reusable water bottle and/or coffee mug\nBring Insect Repellent\nNo pets or smoking.\nBring your Binoculars (a limited number will be available to borrow)\nRestrooms are available at the parking area\n\nWe’re grateful to Bearcub Outfitters for supporting our Bear River Birding events! Participants will receive a coupon for 15% off binoculars\, a great opportunity for first-time birders or anyone looking to upgrade their gear! \nCome explore the Bear River with us and discover how birds can offer new perspectives on the health and beauty of this important watershed. \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event. If you have questions\, please reach out to the event organizers or the contact information provided in the event description.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Grand Rapids Audubon Club - May Birdy Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Grand Rapids Audubon Club’s Birdy Book Club\, hosted at Books & Mortar\, a locally owned\, independent book store. \nMonday\, May 11\, 2026\, 6:00-7:00 pm\, we’ll discuss “Birding Without Borders\,” by Noah Strycker \nBooks & Mortar: 966 Cherry St. SE\, Grand Rapids\, MI \nAbout the book:\nIn 2015\, Noah set himself a lofty goal: to become the first person to see half the planet’s birds in one year. For 365 days\, with a backpack\, binoculars and a series of one-way tickets\, he traveled across 41 countries and all seven continents\, eventually spotting 6\,042 species — by far the biggest birding year on record. \nThis is no travelogue or glorified checklist. Noah ventures deep into a world of blood-sucking leeches\, chronic sleep deprivation\, airline snafus\, breakdowns\, mudslides\, floods\, war zones\, ecologic devastation\, conservation triumphs\, common and iconic species\, and scores of passionate bird lovers around the globe. By pursuing the freest creatures on the planet\, he gains a unique perspective on the world they share with us — and offers a hopeful message that even as many birds face an uncertain future\, more people than ever are working to protect them. \n————————————————— \nAbout the club: \n\nBuy or borrow the book and complete the reading before the meeting. Get 10% off the price of the book if you purchase at Books & Mortar (mention it’s for the GRAC Birdy Book Club!)\nThere’s no cost to participate (apart from any books you opt to purchase). And you don’t need to be a club member\, or a birder\, to join us for the discussion! We love meeting new people\nBook club meets 6 to 7 p.m. generally on the second Monday of every other month (January\, March\, May\, July\, September\, November) except in the case of scheduling conflicts.\nTitles for the 2026 book club schedule (and past picks) are available on our website: https://www.graud.org/membershipmeetings-1\nThis is a space for mutually respectful\, curious and sometimes challenging conversations. Happy reading!\n\n  \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.
