SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Oakland Bird Alliance: Fall Warbler Walk at Heritage Park
DESCRIPTION:Fall Warblers\n\n\n​\nSunday\, September 13\, 2026\, ​\n8:00am-12:00pm\n\n​\nHeritage Park\, Farmington Hills\n\n\nLeader: Mike Mencotti (mmencotti9@gmail.com) \nLet’s find those early migrating warblers. vireos\, and flycatchers\, and ???. Heritage Park is reliably a wonderful spot for fall migration\, so let’s see what is out there in late August. Trails are well groomed at this multi-use facility. Plan on a leisurely 2-mile hike. Insect repellant is suggested. Modern restroom facilities. Space is somewhat limited and these trips usually fill up early. \nThis Farmington Hills park is located on Farmington Road\, south of 11 Mile. \n\nOBA Field Trips are free and open to the general public. Depending on the destination\, entry fees may be required. We welcome all levels of birdwatchers including those with disabilities.  \nRemember to dress for the weather. Trips occurring during a winter storm warning are automatically canceled. \nField Trip Guidelines \n1. Trip size will be strictly limited. The number of participants will be set by the trip leaders based on the location that we are visiting. \n2. All participants must pre-register with the trip leader(s) so we can get an accurate count. This will be on a first-come\, first-served basis. We will sometimes have to indicate that a trip is full. \n3. If you are not feeling well\, you should not attend the field trip. \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: WBNA - Swift Night Out
DESCRIPTION:Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance and the City of Ann Arbor Natural Area Preservation invite you to join us for our Annual Ann Arbor-Washtenaw County Chimney Swift count.  Watching Chimney Swifts enter their roosts at dusk is a spectacular sight (video and more information here). Volunteers will choose a known Chimney Swift roosting location and stake it out before dusk\, counting the Swifts as they enter the chimney\, as darkness falls. You can sign up for one night/one location at a time\, or count each night of the weekend. \nChimney Swifts are in steep decline across North America and this volunteer effort is an important part of understanding how the species is faring in Washtenaw County. Habitat loss is one reason\, as well as decline of the insects they eat\, and other unknown factors. We are helping bird science by conducting this count! This is a great experience for non-birders—bring your friends and family to show them how these very cool aerial insectivores share our cities and towns with us. \nNOTE: Occasionally the Swifts will not use a particular location on a given night due to a predator such as a Cooper’s Hawk\, or another issue. In that case\, “No Swifts” will still be good information for us! \nMore information about how to participate\, including a sign-up form\, will be posted on their event site\, so please check back as the weekend gets closer.  \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.
