SUMMARY:Grand Rapids Audubon Club Event
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Event – Fall Warblers at Reeds Lake – Grand Rapids Audubon Club Event\nSeptember 26\, 2015 8:00 AM\nTrip Leader: Steve Minard\nReeds Lake is still one of the better spots in the area for warblers. Catching the right time does seem to be trickier and the peak fall dates seem to have shifted later. Hopefully this date works\, if it does\, we can expect about 10 species of fall warblers. In recent years\, good numbers of Blackpoll\, Yellow-rumped\, Nashville\, Black-throated Green\, and Tennessee Warblers have been sighted here. The combination of residences\, lake\, marsh\, and remnant woodlands does seem to produce a variety of birds at this location. \nEssentials: Meet on the northwest end of Darby where it meets Reeds Lake Blvd near the bluff. Reach Darby off Bonnell. Bonnell is off Lake Dr midway between Breton and Hall St in East Grand Rapids at 8:00 AM. We plan to walk a 1-mile route and retrace our steps to Darby. \nSafety Hazards: Bugs are possible and poison ivy grows along side the road. Take precautions. The road is open to traffic\, so watch for cars\, bikes\, lawnmowers and ORVs. Please exercise caution on the roads driving to and from the meeting place. \nQuestions? Call Steve Minard at (616) 942-7165

SUMMARY:Cranes\, Color\, and Cabernet Festival
DESCRIPTION:Cranes\, Color\, Cabernet\, and Cider Too\nThe Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary (which is Michigan Audubon’s largest sanctuary) came into being 60 years ago. The anniversary will be commemorated at this year’s Cranes\, Colors\, and Cabernet festival at the sanctuary on Saturday October 17. \nActivities celebrating the Greater Sandhill Crane are hosted by both Jackson Audubon Society (JAS) and Sandhill Crane Vineyards as part of the event in northeast Jackson County. During the festival\, members of JAS will lead driving tours to see the cranes as they forage for food\, and walking tours of the sanctuary trails. The winery will have restaurant specials and provide activities at its location at 4724 Walz Road near Jackson. \nThe event begins at noon when JAS naturalists lead one-hour walking tours of the 1000-plus-acre Haehnle Sanctuary. The last tour will depart at 2:00 p.m. The tour will take participants to the north side of Mud Lake Marsh\, a location rarely visited by humans and a staging area for migrating cranes. \nA lecture on the natural history of the Sandhill Crane will be presented at 4:00 p.m. by a Haehnle naturalist. At 4:30 p.m. participants can take part in the “crane caravan tour.” JAS members will lead this carpool tour to the nearby farm fields\, providing the opportunity to see the cranes at a closer range than at the sanctuary. The carpool will return to Haehnle at approximately 5:30 p.m.\, allowing participants to watch the “fly-in\,” which is when cranes fly directly overhead as they return to the marsh for the evening. Advance notice of your participation in the caravan tour is requested and can be made by contacting the Michigan Audubon office at 517-580-7364. \nViewing of the cranes returning to their roost will occur at the Sanctuary’s observation hill overlooking Mud Lake Marsh until dusk. Haehnle Sanctuary is located directly across the road from 9011 Seymour Road\, northeast of Jackson. \nSchedule: \n12 p.m. – Nature tour with Haehnle naturalist\n\n2 p.m. – Nature tour with Haehnle naturalist \n\n4 p.m. – Celebration of sixty years / Natural History of Sandhill Cranes \n\n4:30 p.m. – Car tour to see Sandhill Cranes feeding in fields \n\n5:30 to\nDark        – Watch cranes coming back to roost in Haehnle Sanctuary at Wing Observation Hill\, Haehnle Sanctuary

SUMMARY:Sandhill Crane Viewing at Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Crane Viewing – Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary\nOctober-November \nSandhill Crane viewing is available at the Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary northeast of Jackson\, with volunteers from the Jackson Audubon Society will be on hand weekends October through November from 4 p.m. until dusk. Volunteers will have binoculars and scopes available to help you view the birds. \nIt can take several hours for all the cranes to return to the roost when they fly in for the evening.

The number of cranes roosting at Haehnle is dependent on the water level in Mud Lake. On Tuesdays\, the Sanctuary’s website is updated with the latest number of birds counted. Visit the website at haehnlesanctuary.org. It also has maps and directions to assist you in finding the sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Sandhill Crane Viewing at Baker Sanctuary

Although the cranes roost on the sanctuary\, viewing takes place from the Battle Creek Kiwanis Club property adjacent to Baker Sanctuary. The Kiwanis property provides the perfect vantage point as it overlooks the shallow\, 200-acre lake. Michigan Audubon is allowed to open the gates to the Kiwanis Youth Area from 4–7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday evenings from October 17 through November 15. The Battle Creek Kiwanis Youth Area is located at 22300 15 Mile Rd.\, northwest of the I-94 and I-69 interchange\, only minutes south of Bellevue.
