The Michigan Young Birders Network is excited to announce that we will host four in-person meet-ups in 2023! These meet-ups will be for young birders who are 18 or younger and their families. Attendees will be responsible for transportation to and from the meet-ups. An adult must accompany any young birder under the age of 13.

Meet-ups will last approximately three hours. Young birders can expect to see exciting birds and learn new tips and tricks in bird watching and identification. There is no cost to attend, but a suggested donation of $10 per young birder or family will help cover expenses associated with hosting these events.
