SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Petoskey Regional Audubon Society - Bear River Walk
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. \nOn the birding walk on May 18 we will 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. \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.

SUMMARY:Michigan Audubon Birdathon
DESCRIPTION:Community Powered. Science Driven.  \nBirdathon is back! This year we’re transforming our traditional Birdathon Big Day into a week-long celebration of birds\, research\, and community-powered conservation. \nFrom May 18-25\, chapter teams will each select a 24-hour period to count as many birds as possible at Michigan Audubon sanctuaries\, Michigan Nature Association properties and/or established eBird hotspots around the state. Every species documented contributes to a clearer understanding of bird diversity and habitat use during spring migration. \nOur Goal: Raise $15\,000 to strengthen bird research across Michigan! \nSupport the effort by making a general donation or by donating to a chapter team. \nEach chapter team receives 10% of the funds they raise\, and chapters with the most donations and the most recorded bird species will each receive 25% of the funds they raise. \nClick here to: \n\nSubmit a general donation\nSupport a chapter team\nLearn more about Birdathon
