SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance - Walks at Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Fall Migration Walks at Nichols Arboretum\nThursday\, August 27 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 am \n\n\n\n Did you know there are more individual warblers migrating through our region in the fall than in the spring? Since these are the “confusing fall warblers\,” some birders leave fall migration to experts. Not us at WBNA! Join us each fall Thursday morning at Nichols Arboretum to find and identify fall migrant warblers\, thrushes\, vireos\, waterfowl\, and many others. Come at 8:00 AM and stay as long as you like. \nAll are welcome and encouraged to join us. New to birding? Bird curious? No binoculars? No problem! There is no better way to learn than to get out in the field with experienced birders that love to help. Plus\, you get to meet awesome people. Absolutely everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out. We will have many pairs of quality binoculars on hand for anyone to use. \nDirections: Meet at the east end of the Arboretum at the Dow Prairie entrance on Riverview Dr. From Geddes Ave.\, turn north onto Riverview and stay right until it terminates at the cul-de-sac. (Map) \neBird Checklist Signup: If you are attending the walk and would like the eBird checklist shared with you\, please give us your email or eBird username here (you can sign up to receive the eBird checklist during the walk as well). \nLeader: Juliet Berger \n\n\n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance - Walks at Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Fall Migration Walks at Nichols Arboretum\nThursday\, August 27 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 am\n\n\n Did you know there are more individual warblers migrating through our region in the fall than in the spring? Since these are the “confusing fall warblers\,” some birders leave fall migration to experts. Not us at WBNA! Join us each fall Thursday morning at Nichols Arboretum to find and identify fall migrant warblers\, thrushes\, vireos\, waterfowl\, and many others. Come at 8:00 AM and stay as long as you like. \nAll are welcome and encouraged to join us. New to birding? Bird curious? No binoculars? No problem! There is no better way to learn than to get out in the field with experienced birders that love to help. Plus\, you get to meet awesome people. Absolutely everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out. We will have many pairs of quality binoculars on hand for anyone to use. \nDirections: Meet at the east end of the Arboretum at the Dow Prairie entrance on Riverview Dr. From Geddes Ave.\, turn north onto Riverview and stay right until it terminates at the cul-de-sac. (Map) \neBird Checklist Signup: If you are attending the walk and would like the eBird checklist shared with you\, please give us your email or eBird username here (you can sign up to receive the eBird checklist during the walk as well). \nLeader: Juliet Berger \n\n\n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY - Macomb Audubon - Pointe Mouillee by Car
DESCRIPTION:Pointe Mouillee by Car\nSat.\, Aug. 29th\, 8:00 a.m.\nLeader: Jim Fowler \nPoint Mouillee State Game area provides some of the best shorebird viewing in the state\, especially during late summer and early fall.

Take U.S. Turnpike south to Sigler Road\, then head east on Sigler Road until you reach the parking lot at the end. You may also want to GPS to account for any construction delays.
