SUMMARY:ORNITHOLOGY: AN IN-DEPTH STUDY OF BIRDS
DESCRIPTION:ORNITHOLOGY: AN IN-DEPTH STUDY OF BIRDS  is a great course for novice and intermediate birders alike.  It is also a wonderful place for photographers to learn more about their subjects. \nWe have “streamlined” the original class but it still covers topics including anatomy\, physiology\, migration\, song and flight in the Tuesday evening lectures. Saturday field trips are filled with bird identification\, behavior observations and tips on how to find those birds you seek. We usually travel by carpool to our field trip sites. \nThe class consists of 4 weeks of Tuesday evening lectures and Saturday morning field trips\, beginning on April 3.  Most field trips begin at 8 AM. We try to end as close to noon as possible. Not everyone makes it to all the classes and field trips. We definitely understand and will do our best to be  be sure you can makeup any topics you miss. \nAs in previous years\, the class size will be limited to 20 individuals. We have sold out for 4 years in a row so registering as early as you can is advisable. \nYou can register on the web site at the link below. \n[vc_button url=”https://www.miavianexperience.org/field-classes/” text=”REGISTER FOR ORNITHOLOGY: AN IN-DEPTH STUDY OF BIRDS” size=”” align=”left” type=”midnight” outlined=”0″ icon=”” target=”_blank”]

SUMMARY:Wege Speaker Series Presents Dr. J. Drew Lanham: On Being a Rare Bird
DESCRIPTION:The Wege Foundation will host the 22nd Wege Speaker Series on Thursday\, April 12 at 4pm at the Aquinas College Performing Arts Center. \nThis year’s speaker is Dr. J. Drew Lanham\, ornithologist\, conservationist and distinguished professor at Clemson University. Dr. Lanham is a widely published scientist\, author\, and poet with work appearing in numerous academic and literary journals. His latest book\, The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature\, is currently available from Milkweed Editions. Dr. Lanham is also a member of the National Audubon Society and Audubon South Carolina boards\, along with several other environmental organizations. His research at Clemson University focuses on songbird ecology. \nIn Dr. Lanham’s book\, The Home Place\, he relates his love of nature and the world around him as a child growing up in Edgefield County\, South Carolina. As his passion for the environment takes flight\, Lanham asks what it means to be “the rare bird\, the oddity”—to find joy and freedom in the same land his ancestors were tied to by forced labor\, and then to be a black man in a profoundly white profession. \n“Birds and people need the same air\, same water\, same soil\,” said Dr. Lanham. “When we agree on that fact\, then conservation becomes the inclusive and intensely caring\, loving\, selfless thing that it is meant to be.” \nLanham’s presentation will provide insights into assuring equitable access to nature and outdoors experiences. \n“Dr. Lanham’s work directly relates to The West Foundation’s commitment to diversity\, equity and inclusion\,” said Mark Van Putten\, President\, and CEO of the Wege Foundation. “It is our hope that all individuals and families\, no matter their background or economic status\, can enjoy the benefits of nature and the environment.” \nCan’t attend in person? Grand Rapids Mayor Bliss will make Dr. Lanham’s lecture available for livesteaming on her Facebook account at   www.facebook.com/blissforgr \nPartners for the 22nd Wege Speaker Series event include: \n\nCity of Grand Rapids\nGrand Rapids Public Schools\nGrand Rapids Urban League\nLatina Network of West Michigan\nLINC UP\nMichigan Audubon\nNAACP Greater Grand Rapids Branch\nSierra Club Michigan Chapter\nWest Michigan Latino Community Coalition\n\nThe Aquinas College Performing Arts Center is located at 1703 Robinson Road S.E. in Grand Rapids. The public is invited and the event is free. A book signing will follow. Limited seating\, please register soon at aquinas.edu/wegespeaker \nAbout the Wege Foundation\nFounded in 1967 by Peter M. Wege\, son of Peter Martin Wege\, who started what is now Steelcase Inc.\, the Wege Foundation focuses on funding good works that enhance the lives of the people and preserve the health of the environment in West Michigan.

SUMMARY:Spring Fling at WPBO

In honor of these achievements\, our speakers\, presentations\, tours and other activities will highlight the uniqueness of the Point\, celebrate the achievements of the observatory’s past\, and explore exciting new developments in its future. \n[vc_button url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spring-fling-2018-tickets-41044455070″ text=”>> Click here to register for Spring Fling 2018″ size=”” align=”left” type=”midnight” outlined=”0″ icon=”” target=”_blank”]

SUMMARY:Thornapple Woodpecker Festival
DESCRIPTION:Thornapple Woodpecker Festival\, now in its eighth year\, provides for festival-goers a paved trail along the Thornapple River with birding guides that has an established population of the Redheaded Woodpecker as well as the other more common Eastern woodpeckers.  The trees are short on the south side of the trail so warblers and swallows are easy to see. There are ponds and marsh areas where waterfowl can be found.  A golf cart is provided for those that would rather ride.  Speakers on nature-related topics are available throughout the day\, as well as nature related crafts. The 1922 Trail Depot will be open to show the history of the railroad during the day.  Sponsored by the Grand Rapids Audubon Club. \nFor questions\, please contact Jean Lamoreaux at (616) 293-8666\, or email her at cal3jean@gmail.com. \nFor more information\, visit http://woodpeckerfest.webs.com or find us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Thornapple-Woodpecker-Festival-189561891069751/
