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.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Dynamic Bird Diversity of Sarett Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Audubon Society of Kalamazoo monthly meetings are held on the 4th Monday of September-April (except for December) \nA social time begins at 6:30 with the program beginning at 7:00. \nPeople’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. \nOn September 28\, Nate Fuller\, Executive Director at Sarett Nature Center\, Benton Harbor\, Michigan\, will share the dynamic story of bird diversity at the nature center as habitats and climate conditions change. We will schedule a field trip to visit Sarett this fall. \n \nSEPTEMBER MONTHLY MEETING: “DYNAMIC BIRD DIVERSITY OF SARETT NATURE CENTER” \nBy Nate Fuller and Gail Walter \nNate Fuller will share the dynamic story of bird diversity at the nature center as habitats and climate conditions change. Sarett owns over 1\,000 acres in Southwest Michigan that include a wide range of habitats from wet to dry and forested to open grassland. Sarett staff and volunteers have been documenting its wildlife diversity\, especially birds\, for over 50 years. Learn how fluctuating water levels are impacting Prothonotary Warblers while habitat restoration is helping American Kestrels and Eastern Bluebirds. Sarett staff are witnessing northern range shifts of historically southern species like Yellow-breasted Chats\, White-eyed Vireos\, and Blue Grosbeaks while species like Common Ravens and Red-shouldered Hawks recover historic breeding ranges. And what is the deal with Fish Crows? We will schedule a field trip to Sarett in the fall. \nNate Fuller is the Executive Director of Sarett Nature Center. He first worked at Sarett as a naturalist from 1995 to 2001 before returning as director in 2019. In between times working at Sarett\, he was the Conservation and Stewardship Director for Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy. In that role he worked to establish public natural areas and restore wildlife habitat across nine counties of Southwest Michigan. Nate received a bachelor’s degree in biology from Northland College in Ashland\, Wisconsin\, and a master’s degree in geography with an emphasis in environmental and resource analysis from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. \nWe hope you’ll join us on Monday\, September 28th\, at People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. This program is geared to all audiences\, and we enthusiastically invite families and nature lovers of any age to join us!  Come at 6:30 PM (new time) for some refreshments and socializing. Snacks and beverages will be provided. It’s helpful if you bring your own cup. The one-hour program will start at 7:00 PM. Handicap parking and access is at either the front or the rear entrance of the building. \nWe will have a simultaneous Zoom link to the meeting for those who can’t make it or feel uncomfortable as yet to attend in person. This link will be available shortly before the meeting in the October newsletter that is emailed to you. We will also be recording the meeting for later viewing. \nAll programs will be Zoomed virtually and also recorded for later viewing. \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.
