SUMMARY:Spring Fling at WPBO
DESCRIPTION:This year will mark the 30th Annual Spring Fling: WPBO’s Celebration of Bird Migration when members and their guests “migrate” to Paradise\, Michigan and the Whitefish Point area to visit with old friends\, both human and avian. Many activities are being planned for another refreshing weekend of birding experiences. \nWe are looking forward to a very special celebration of spring migration this year at Whitefish Point Bird Observatory. This year we are excited to mark some important milestones as we prepare to welcome birds and birders back for another spectacular season of birding at the Point\, arguably one of Michigan’s most beloved birding destinations. Not only does 2018 mark the 30th anniversary of Spring Fling\, but it also marks the 30th spring season of the official owl banding program. 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/

SUMMARY:Backyard Bird Habitat Workshop 2018 - Native Design for the Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join Michigan Audubon and Wesley Landon of Native Edge for an all-day workshop focused on the critical relationship between birds and native plants\, all through the lens of intentional garden design. In this workshop\, participants will learn why birds need native plants\, which native plants are “powerhouses” for birds\, and how to use native plants in both formal and informal landscapes. A common concern when adding native plants to the landscape is their “weedy” or “messy” look – this year’s workshop is focused on bucking this misconception by teaching participants how to select native plants to fit a desired design aesthetic and still support birds\, pollinators\, and wildlife. Wesley Landon is a licensed landscape architect focused on creating resilient\, innovative places which inspire and restore the native environmental fabric of the landscape. He will be sharing his knowledge through an interactive exercise and discussion on site selection and formal design using native plants. Participants should bring aerial images\, sketches of a future garden project\, and/or knowledge about specific site conditions to discuss during the exercise. \nThis workshop will feature an indoor educational session followed by an outdoor walk to view good examples of a bird-friendly landscape. In the afternoon\, the group will travel to Wildtype in Mason\, where owner Bill Schneider will give a tour of this unique native plant nursery and participants will have the opportunity to shop and explore during one of the few days this great resource is open to the public. Participants will take home a resource folder packed with helpful tips and a native shrub to kick-start a backyard habitat transformation. A buffet lunch is included with registration along with a packet of take-home resources. Please dress appropriately for the outdoors as this event will take place rain or shine. \nIf you love watching birds\, please join us to learn how you can support our birds by stewarding healthy native habitat around your home\, office\, school\, or neighborhood. \nCost: $25 for Michigan Audubon or Woldumar Nature Center members; $35 for non-members of either organization \n[vc_button url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2018-backyard-bird-habitat-workshop-tickets-45248807401″ text=”>> Click here to register for the Backyard Bird Habitat Workshop” size=”” align=”left” type=”midnight” outlined=”0″ icon=”” target=”_blank”]

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.

SUMMARY:Great Lakes Young Birders Camp
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to connect young people with the diverse bird communities of the Great Lakes Region\, Michigan Audubon\, in partnership with Alma College\, Chippewa Nature Center\, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be holding the first Great Lakes Young Birders Camp in 2018. \nThe inaugural camp will be based out of Alma College\, centrally located in Michigan\, in close proximity to forests\, grasslands\, wetlands\, and even the core breeding range for the rare Kirtland’s Warbler. The Great Lakes Young Birders Camp promotes the development of young birders who will be the next generation of birders\, scientists\, and conservation-minded citizens. Through experiences that develop expertise in avian natural history\, foster connections with their birding peers\, and highlight careers in bird conservation and ornithology\, participants will receive a foundation upon which they can successfully grow their passion for the natural world. \nCamp will run from June 24-28\, 2018\, for 16 high school students\, and includes travel to several birding hotspots in the mid-Michigan region\, as well as expert guest speakers from around the state. Each day will focus on an overarching topic that will provide participants a complete birding and conservation understanding. The goal of this camp is to connect not only young birders to each other but to connect them to the resources they need to become the next generation of conservationists. \nThe success and reach of this camp will not be possible without the support of sponsors\, whose generous tax-deductible donations will ensure that we can maintain an affordable tuition rate for our campers and offer need-based scholarships throughout the Great Lakes region. \nFind out more at: https://www.michiganaudubon.org/learn/young-birders/
