SUMMARY:Hawk Migration and ID - Barry County Bird Club
DESCRIPTION:Hawk Talk Presented by Josh Haas\n \nDecember 16\, 7:00 PM at Barry County Enrichment Center\nJosh Haas will be giving a talk on hawk migration and how to identify hawks in the air. \nJosh Hass describes the talk: “I’ve done many talks related to Hawks but this one is pretty special.  While most agree Hawks bring a sense of wonder\, they also bring a sense of struggle when it comes to ID’ing them properly.  Part of my talk will feature side by side video footage comparing Hawks in flight at the same time.  It’s very eye opening to see them in this way.  I hope you will all join me for an enjoyable evening out.” \nQuestions?

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
