Kirtland's Warbler Trip. Bill Murphy will be leading a group to Michigan for Kirtland's Warbler, among many other Spring migrants.
In 2003 we enjoyed mouthwatering views of the endangered Kirtland's Warbler and 112 other species. This year we'll focus on the area east of Mio, following an itinerary prepared with assistance from Cory Gildersleeve, a birder from Oscoda, Michigan. Cory grew up in the Kirtland Warbler region, coordinated the Michigan Atlas Project for the northern Lower Peninsula, and knows the area intimately. Time permitting, Cory will join us on some of our forays.
Deadline for reservations will be April 30th. Contact either
