SUMMARY:Michigan Young Birders Camp
DESCRIPTION:After two years of offering a virtual camp experience\, Michigan Audubon is happy to announce that we’re moving back to an in-person Michigan Young Birders Camp for 2022! We are so pleased to continue connecting young people with the diverse bird communities of the Great Lakes region for the fifth year. Michigan Audubon hopes to reach more young birders\, ages 13–18\, during this week of exciting avian knowledge and adventures in conservation! \nThe 2022 Michigan Young Birders Camp will be held June 26–July 1 at Alma College. From Alma\, participants will travel around the state\, visiting different habitats and important bird areas to enhance and support their learning throughout the week. We’ll discuss bird conservation topics and bird identification tips and techniques\, and listen to a variety of guest speakers on topics related to birds. \nThe 2022 camp experience will cost $500 per camper. This includes lodging\, food\, transportation during camp\, camp materials\, and camper swag. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available and space is limited. Camper applications are accepted until May 1 or until spaces are filled.  \nOut of a concern for safety\, we will follow appropriate\, current public health protocols. All those involved with the in-person activities of camp must be fully vaccinated. Masks\, social distancing\, and extra cleaning will be utilized as necessary\, along with additional state-recommended cleaning accommodations for overnight camps. \nVisit michiganaudubon.org/learn/young-birders/ or click here to apply for camp.

SUMMARY:Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. for a free webinar to learn about Michigan Audubon’s Mi Bird-friendly Communities program — a suite of urban bird conservation projects focused on reconnecting communities with birds and the environment for the benefit of all! \nThe Mi Bird-friendly Communities program seeks to inspire environmental wonder and stewardship among city residents\, community members\, and local businesses through four programmatic elements: urban conservation education\, species-specific conservation\, native landscaping\, and hazard reduction for migratory birds. Learn how and why to bring bird conservation into your community and your backyard! \nYou can register for the webinar at http://ow.ly/A9Q550CdFof.  \nWe will also be broadcasting the webinar live through our Facebook page and a recording will be made available following the event. \nThe webinar will be presented by Michigan Audubon Conservation Program Coordinator Linnea Rowse. Linnea is an avid birder\, and though she doesn’t like to pick favorites\, she really appreciates the beauty of warblers and the subtlety of flycatchers. She grew up in Minnesota and feels lucky to have parents who encouraged her to get outdoors and got her involved with birding and other outdoor pursuits at an early age. Linnea has been working in the avian conservation field for the past 13 years and has been with Michigan Audubon since June 2018. Michigan Audubon’s core mission aligns well with Linnea’s values — to connect birds and people by employing sound conservation science\, research\, outreach\, and education. \n

SUMMARY:2020 Michigan Young Birders Camp
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Young Birders Camp\nJune 21–26\, 2020\n\nNow accepting camper applications!\nAfter a successful inaugural camp in 2018\, Michigan Audubon continues to connect young people with the diverse bird communities of the Great Lakes Region for a third year with the 2020 Michigan Young Birders Camp. Together with partners Alma College and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, Michigan Audubon hopes to reach more middle and high school students during this week filled with exciting bird and conservation adventures. \nMYBC campers spend their time at camp assisting with point counts and bird banding\, touring critical habitats for Michigan birds\, learning about wildlife rehabilitation\, studying bird biology\, and birding\, of course! Each year campers have seen nearly 100 birds during the week\, and all have checked at least one lifer off their list. \nThe MYBC promotes the development of young birders who will be the next generation of birders\, scientists\, and conservation-minded citizens. Camper experiences help them to: \n\nDevelop expertise in avian natural history;\nFoster connections with their birding peers;\nDiscover careers in bird conservation and ornithology;\nEstablish a foundation upon which they can successfully grow their passion for the natural world.\n\nWe encourage young birders and naturalists of all skill levels to participate — curiousity and enthusiasm will make it a fun week for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. \nThe MYBC is based out of Alma College\, centrally located in Michigan\, near forests\, grasslands\, wetlands\, and even the core breeding range for the rare Kirtland’s Warbler. \nCamp is open to those who will be 13 to 18 years old. Camp cost is $500 per student and includes lodging\, travel during camp\, food\, and supplies. Full and partial scholarships are available through generous donations. All scholarships are based on need and availability. \nThe application deadline is March 31\, 2020. \nContact Education Coordinator Lindsay Cain at lcain@michiganaudubon.org or (517) 580-7364 with any questions. \nCamp Application Links\n— To apply for camp\, please click here. \n— To apply for a scholarship\, click here. \nShow Your Support for MYBC 2020\n— Make a general donation toward the MYBC program. We still have more than $2\,000 to go to help us cover the cost of camp and your support is vital. \n— Contribute to the scholarship fund and help ensure camp costs don’t deter any young birders from partaking in this great opportunity. \n— Be an official sponsor of MYBC. \nDid you miss this event?

Other sessions include Monarch Butterfly raising\, Trumpeter Swans\, and Eagle Research.\nFood Service offers a Welcome Birders Dinner on Thursday\, May 14\, dining options among Migration sponsors\, and a buffet dinner on Saturday evening.\n\nNote: Rising Lake Huron water levels have affected Tawas Point State Park.  You might need boots if you plan to walk along the shore or the Two-Track Trail to the tip of the Point. \nPlease visit the web pages provided\, which are designed to walk you through the details and locations of the Tawas Point Migration 2020 event and registration.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: The Art of Birding "by Ear" with Jim McGrath
DESCRIPTION:Studying field guides is valuable for identifying wild birds around you\, but what about the ones that you can’t see? When you gain the ability to “bird by ear\,” you propel yourself to a level of avian awareness that blows away identification by sight alone. Join Nature Discovery’s Jim McGrath for this visually and auditorially-stimulating presentation. Jim will introduce participants to word handles and other tips to help you recognize and remember a host of common birdsongs. At the presentation’s conclusion\, weather permitting\, participants are invited to step outside and begin to put their newly-gained skills to work. Don’t forget your binoculars! Don’t have binoculars? No worries! We’ll have extras on hand. \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos MI\, 48864.
