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: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.
