SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count Walk at Warner Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Winter at Ronald H. Warner Sanctuary – by Laura Christensen \nWinter Bird Walks at Warner Sanctuary\nPlease join us for a winter bird walk at Michigan Audubon’s Ronald H.

SUMMARY:Audubon Society of Kalamazoo Event
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Event – Audubon Society of Kalamazoo\nMonday\, February 22: 7:00 PM\nDo you think the American Woodcock is a strange bird? It doesn’t even live in the woods! Or because of its unusually short legs\, its unusually chubby body\, or its unusually long beak\, let’s not even get into its sexual behaviors. Yes\, it is a strange bird. But like many of us\, it does not like cold weather (the woodcocks went south). Maybe that is why Jordyn is available to come and speak to us in February. \nJordyn is the Wildlife Outreach Technician for the DNR. Raised in a small northernMichigan town “where the main street is lined with tractors and there is only one flashing traffic light\,” she is now running the PureMichigan Hunt program and is the communications contact for Southwest Michigan. In February that has her out doing school programs and speaking to Audubon groups about strange birds. \nJoin us\, this bird will warm your hearts\, on Monday\, February 22\, at People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. The program starts at 7:30 PM and is preceded by a social time with light refreshments at 7 PM. Guests and the general public are encouraged to attend. Handicap parking and access is at either the front or rear of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee cup. \nQuestions? Contact: Larry Boutelle\, 269-372-0678

SUMMARY:Audubon Society of Kalamazoo Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Event – Audubon Society of Kalamazoo – “The Great Colorado Chicken Trip”\nMonday\, March 28: 7:30 – 8:30 PM\nYes\, chickens! Chickens are birds\, too! And especially interesting if they are Lesser Prairie- Chickens or Greater Prairie-Chickens or their relatives: Sharp-tailed and Dusky Grouse\, Greater and Gunnison Sage-Grouse\, White-tailed Ptarmigan\, and more. There is no better place in North America to see native grouse and “chicken-like” birds than the state of Colorado – and no better time to find them than in April.

You may discover the urge to see more. \n\nPlease come join us at the People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. The program starts at 7:30 PM and is preceded by a social time with light refreshments at 7:00 PM. Guests and the general public are encouraged to attend.

SUMMARY:Aldo Leopold Festival - 2016
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Aldo Leopold’s Legacy and the New North Huron Birding Trail!\nMay 13-15\, 2016\nThe second annual Aldo Leopold Festival continues the celebration of Aldo Leopold’s legacy in the Les Cheneaux Islands area\, where he spent months roaming the forests and waterways\, further honing his keen appreciation for nature. \nLast year’s festival focused on Aldo’s time in Les Cheneaux\, while we dedicated a new Michigan Historical Marker that commemorates our connection to an American pioneer of conservation. This year’s festival expands our celebration to the birds Leopold loved\, and the conservation ethics he developed that manifested in preserving the many birds that migrate through the Les Cheneaux Islands in the spring. \nThe 2016 Festival has been strategically planned to coincide with the spring migration of songbirds\, so you can enjoy seeing and hearing the dozens of species that fly in– many of whom remain through the spring and summer to nest. \nPlease join us in also celebrating the official opening of the new North Huron Birding Trail\, which has been developed over the past year to showcase the spectacular birding opportunities that can be found along Lake Huron’s north shore! A triathlon\, exploration and hiking\, Dark Sky presentation\, bird and flower hikes\, plant walk\, scavenger hunt\, picnic\, raptor shows\, Drummond Island field trip\, migratory bird talk\, and much more will be offered over the weekend. Most events are free\, but see individual event details for fees. \n \nLearn more by visiting the Facebook page.

This honor is given annually to a person (or persons) who has supported and promoted paddle sports along with water conservation\, education\, or history in Michigan. The recipient of this award receives a commemorative paddle\, and a brick on which the date and the name of the recipient is engraved. A duplicate brick will be added to the walkway around the Verlen Kruger Memorial located by the Grand River in Portland\, Michigan. The recipient’s name is also engraved on a plaque that is housed at the AuSable River Center in Roscommon\, Michigan. \nThe first Saturday of March has become the official start of spring for the outdoor people of the Great Lakes.  Campers\, hikers\, cyclists\, sailors\, anglers\, and of course paddle sport enthusiasts will find this year’s symposium to be the nexus for beginning their 2017 outdoor adventures. \nPlease make plans to bring your family\, friends and/or organization to the 22nd Annual Quiet Water Symposium. \nWhen:   Saturday\, March 4\, 2017\nWhere:  Michigan State University Pavilion\, 4301 Farm Lane\, East Lansing\, MI\nTime:  9:00 AM to 5:30 PM\nCost:  Adults $10.00\, Students with I/D $5.00\, under 12 free.

SUMMARY:Michigan Audubon Workshop Series: How to be a Good Purple Martin Landlord
DESCRIPTION:Graceful and entertaining\, the Purple Martin is a swallow species that has adapted to depend on man-made birdhouses for survival in the eastern U.S. \nIf you have open space or live on a lake or stream\, you might enjoy investing a bit of time monitoring your own colony this summer. Michigan Audubon will also be working this year to establish a few Purple Martin colonies in the Lansing area and would welcome volunteers interested in helping to monitor these efforts. You can help ensure the longevity of this fascinating species that is on the decline in Michigan. \nMichigan Audubon is pleased to welcome Penny Briscoe to host the workshop\, “How to be a Good Purple Martin Landlord.” Briscoe is a local expert with more than 25 years’ experience. The workshop will be held at the Michigan Audubon office. \nLearn how to acquire and install suitable housing\, prepare nests for spring arrival\, and perform regular nest checks to ensure survival of young birds. Briscoe will also share useful internet resources and discuss recording and submitting data. \nPre-registration is required. Please check back soon for details. \nMichigan Audubon sponsors a workshop series on the second Tuesday of each month from March through October. Each month the workshop will focus on a different topic related to birds and birding. Different skill levels and interests will be covered throughout the year. Workshops are held at the Michigan Audubon Office\, 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos MI 48864.
