Spring birding tours at Michigan’s Wetland Wonders
Nothing says spring like the “conk-a-ree” call of a red-winged blackbird or the raucous sounds of a sandhill crane. Celebrate spring and explore Michigan’s Wetland Wonders with a birding tour at one of the Department of Natural Resources’ Saginaw Bay managed waterfowl areas.
Highlights of the birding tours may include diving and dabbling ducks in full breeding plumage, trumpeter and tundra swans, osprey, bald eagles, sandhill cranes and many more. The tours, led by DNR wildlife biologists and technicians, will include a “sneak peek” driving tour into refuge areas that are normally closed.
Birding tours will be held on the following dates:
- May 3 at 8 a.m. – Shiawassee River State Game Area 225 East Spruce St., St. Charles; 989-865-6211
- May 10 at 9 a.m. – Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area 1570 Tower Beach Road, Pinconning; 989-697-5101 Read more
