SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Petoskey Regional Audubon Society - Beginner Birding along the Bear River
DESCRIPTION:Join Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council staff and the Petoskey Regional Audubon Society members for two guided birding walks along the Bear River this spring. Supported by the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation’s Little Traverse Bay Restoration Fund\, these events are part of a broader effort to connect people with the Bear River corridor and support ongoing restoration work through the Healing the Bear Initiative. \nWhether you’re brand new to birding or have years of experience\, all are welcome to join us in slowing down\, observing\, and appreciating the birds and habitats that make this ecosystem unique. Early May is an ideal time for birding. Brightly colored male birds are singing to attract a mate and establish a territory. The leaves on the trees are just opening up so it is easier to see the birds. \nThe Beginner Birding Walk on May 11 will provide tips and recommendations for those just getting into bird watching\, followed by a walk along the Bear River to see and hear birds. It will take place 8:30am to 10:10am. We will meet at the Bear River Picnic Shelter. Parking is available on Quaintance Ave\, Petoskey.  The walk is free\, but please RSVP by clicking here. \n  \nEvent Details:  \n\nWear Outdoor clothing (dress for the weather)\nWear Sturdy shoes\nBring Reusable water bottle and/or coffee mug\nBring Insect Repellent\nNo pets or smoking.\nBring your Binoculars (a limited number will be available to borrow)\nRestrooms are available at the parking area\n\nWe’re grateful to Bearcub Outfitters for supporting our Bear River Birding events!

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Grand Rapids Audubon Club - May Birdy Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Grand Rapids Audubon Club’s Birdy Book Club\, hosted at Books & Mortar\, a locally owned\, independent book store. \nMonday\, May 11\, 2026\, 6:00-7:00 pm\, we’ll discuss “Birding Without Borders\,” by Noah Strycker \nBooks & Mortar: 966 Cherry St. SE\, Grand Rapids\, MI \nAbout the book:\nIn 2015\, Noah set himself a lofty goal: to become the first person to see half the planet’s birds in one year. For 365 days\, with a backpack\, binoculars and a series of one-way tickets\, he traveled across 41 countries and all seven continents\, eventually spotting 6\,042 species — by far the biggest birding year on record. \nThis is no travelogue or glorified checklist. Noah ventures deep into a world of blood-sucking leeches\, chronic sleep deprivation\, airline snafus\, breakdowns\, mudslides\, floods\, war zones\, ecologic devastation\, conservation triumphs\, common and iconic species\, and scores of passionate bird lovers around the globe. By pursuing the freest creatures on the planet\, he gains a unique perspective on the world they share with us — and offers a hopeful message that even as many birds face an uncertain future\, more people than ever are working to protect them. \n————————————————— \nAbout the club: \n\nBuy or borrow the book and complete the reading before the meeting. Get 10% off the price of the book if you purchase at Books & Mortar (mention it’s for the GRAC Birdy Book Club!)\nThere’s no cost to participate (apart from any books you opt to purchase). And you don’t need to be a club member\, or a birder\, to join us for the discussion! We love meeting new people\nBook club meets 6 to 7 p.m. generally on the second Monday of every other month (January\, March\, May\, July\, September\, November) except in the case of scheduling conflicts.\nTitles for the 2026 book club schedule (and past picks) are available on our website: https://www.graud.org/membershipmeetings-1\nThis is a space for mutually respectful\, curious and sometimes challenging conversations. Happy reading!\n\n  \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Petoskey Regional Audubon Society - Wednesday Walks

Knowledgeable guide and PRAS member and past President\, Darrell Lawson\, will be available for each group to identify bird species by sight or vocalization and to answer questions. \nThe first area we will visit is the platform overlooking the mouth of the Jordan River.  This location features a deep river channel bordered by mudflats and cattail marshes.  The area usually holds many dabbling ducks\, geese\, swans\, herons (potential for Great Egret)\, Sandhill Cranes\, coots\, and others.  Shorebirds may be patrolling the mudflats and river edges. \nThe second area we will visit is the new Don & Eileen Klein Nature Trail.  This walk includes some scrubby hardwood forest and an extensive boardwalk through a large cattail marsh.  Here there should be plenty of blackbirds\, sparrows\, and the potential for rails.  Raptors including Bald Eagles\, Red-tailed Hawks\, Red-shouldered Hawks\, Northern Harrier\, Osprey\, Merlin and others are a possibility in any area.  This walk should allow participants to see many of Michigan’s spectacular resident and migratory bird species! \nNotes:  \n\nRSVP is not necessary to attend the bird walk. Just show up.\nPlease do not bring pets as these can disrupt both the behavior of the birds and the birding experience for others.\nBring binoculars if you have them.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Petoskey Regional Audubon Society - Sportsman's Park Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Petoskey Regional Audubon Society invites you to a birding walk at Sportsman’s Park in East Jordan\, on Friday\, May 15 from 8am-9:30am. During this walk we will explore multiple habitat types.  Participants will meet at the Sportsman’s Park parking area.  Please bring your binoculars. Betty Simon will be the trip leader\, she is a member of Petoskey Audubon and is excited to act as a guide to one of her favorite birding spots. \nThis morning walk will allow participants to compare and contrast the number of species and individual birds to our Wednesday evening walks. \nThe first area we will visit is the platform overlooking the mouth of the Jordan River.  This location features a deep river channel bordered by mudflats and cattail marshes.  The area usually holds many dabbling ducks\, geese\, swans\, herons (potential for Great Egret)\, Sandhill Cranes\, coots\, and others.  Shorebirds may be patrolling the mudflats and river edges. \nThe second area we will visit is the new Don & Eileen Klein Nature Trail.  This walk includes some scrubby hardwood forest and an extensive boardwalk through a large cattail marsh.  Here there should be plenty of blackbirds\, sparrows\, and the potential for rails.  Raptors including Bald Eagles\, Red-tailed Hawks\, Red-shouldered Hawks\, Northern Harrier\, Osprey\, Merlin and others are a possibility in any area.  This walk should allow participants to see many of Michigan’s spectacular resident and migratory bird species! \nNotes:  \n\nRSVP is not necessary to attend the bird walk. Just show up.\nPlease do not bring pets as these can disrupt both the behavior of the birds and the birding experience for others.\nBring binoculars if you have them. If not\, loaner pairs will be available.\nRestrooms are available at the parking area.\nBeginning birders always welcome.\nNo pets. No smoking.\nChildren welcome with adult supervision.\nDress for conditions and insect protection.\n\n\n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Petoskey Regional Audubon - Saturday Morning Birding Walks
DESCRIPTION:The Petoskey Regional Audubon Society invites you to birding walks at Little Traverse Conservancy’s Waldron Fen Preserve on Saturday mornings during the month of May at 8am. \nSpot migratory and resident bird species on this hike throughout a variety of habitats led by trip leader Brooke Knickerbocker – an enthusiastic birder and high school student. This preserve has nearly 2 miles of trails\, two small ponds\, a viewing platform\, and is a sizable wetland-fen complex. Expect this walk to take two to three hours. \nWe will meet in the dirt parking lot next to the Waldron Fen Nature Preserve sign off Banwell Road (look for the LTC sign). The parking area is unpaved and offers no restroom facilities. Bug spray is strongly encouraged. Trails can be muddy. Proper footwear is a must. The trail is a loop and there is no short-cut back. \nThe Fen truly is a magical spot with 148 acres. For example\, on one morning in May 2025 our small group called 51 species and 137 individual birds. The terrain is uneven\, sometimes wet\, and bug spray is always recommended. As you can imagine\, birds love this kind of habitat; but it’s not for everyone. \n  \nNotes:  \n\nRSVP is not necessary to attend the bird walk. Just show up.\nBring binoculars if you have them. If not\, loaner pairs will be available.\nBeginning birders always welcome.\nNo pets. No smoking.\nDress for conditions and insect protection.\nDirections – From Alanson\, head east on M-68 to Banwell Road. Turn right. Continue on Banwell 3.3 miles to entrance on left.\n\n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event. If you have questions\, please reach out to the event organizers or the contact information provided in the event description.
