SUMMARY:Tawas Beginning Birder Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning the basics of birding and bird identification in an action-packed weekend at a premier birding spot? Then join Michigan Audubon and our guide Sam Burckhardt on a beginning birder tour in Iosco County. This adventure will travel by caravan around the Tawas area to see the many migrating birds\, specifically the vibrant array of warblers\, shorebirds\, and waterfowl. The weekend will include visiting Kirtland’s Warblers on their breeding grounds. Enjoy the many wonders the area has to offer while learning birding skills. \nThe Beginning Birding trip is limited to 12 participants\, and we anticipate it filling fast. The fee for the trip is $150 for Michigan Audubon members and $175 for non-members. Please note that the trip fee does not include meals or lodging. \nThis trip is rated MODERATE. Travel is by car caravan with foot travel at a variety of sites. Some sites are paved\, others are grass or gravel paths. Terrain ranges from flat to hilly and mud may be a factor. Participants should be able to withstand a variety of weather possibilities including rain\, wind\, and sun. \nRegistration opens February 23. Link will go live at that time. \nClick here to register for the Tawas Beginning Birder Tour

SUMMARY:Kirtland's Warbler Tours 2024
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Audubon\, in collaboration with Hartwick Pines State Park\, will offer Kirtland’s Warbler Tours in 2024. Tours will be held daily at 7 a.m. with an additional 11 a.m. tour on Saturdays and Sundays from May 25 through June 30. The tours are based at Hartwick Pines State Park just north of downtown Grayling. Tours cost $15 per person\, and you must have a Recreation Pass to enter the State Park. \nTour sizes will be limited to 25 people\, and participants must pre-register. \nGroups of 10 or more participants should contact Michigan Audubon directly at events@michiganaudubon.org to schedule a private 11 a.m. tour during the week. \nTours will meet at the Michigan Forest Visitor Center within Hartwick Pines State Park\, where participants are given a brief orientation to the Kirtland’s Warbler and the jack pine habitat. Afterward\, participants caravan to protected pine barrens for the chance to view the endangered warbler. Tours typically last 2.5 to 3 hours in duration. \nHartwick Pines State Park and the Michigan Forest Visitor Center are located on Hartwick Pines Road (aka M-93) just east of I-75. There is an approximate walk of five minutes up an inclined walkway to reach the visitor center from the parking lot. You can find a map and detailed information regarding Hartwick Pines on the Michigan DNR Website. \nA Recreation Passport is required for entry to the park. Recreation Passports can be purchased beforehand through the State of Michigan here or onsite upon arrival at the park. \nWe have a high success rate of seeing the Kirtland’s Warbler. However\, weather plays an important role\, as they tend to stay down in the pine branches during inclement weather and severe heat. Our guides have even been able to locate the bird during inclement weather\, so don’t cancel your plans because the sun isn’t shining. \nPlease be advised that you will park along the road and walk into the jack pine habitat on sand trails. Walking distance is usually less than one mile. The distance of foot travel will depend on where the birds establish their territory for the nesting season in the jack pine. \nPlease dress for weather conditions and wear good walking shoes or boots. You will be outside for approximately two hours\, so sunscreen\, insect repellent\, and a hat are always recommended. \nOut of respect for the bird and its well-being\, our guide will not make special accommodations for professional photographers. \nAre you looking for accommodations for the night in Grayling? There are many small motels and two chain hotels to fit your needs. Check the Grayling Visitor’s Bureau for information. \nIf you have questions regarding Kirtland’s Warbler Tours\, please contact us at events@michiganaudubon.org. \nRegistration opens on February 2 at 9 a.m. Link will go live then. \nRegister for a Kirtland’s Warbler Tour \nFeatured photo: Kirtland’s Warbler by Sherman Garnett
