Join the Grand Rapids Audubon Club and Kalamazoo Audubon Club for our second collaboration this season for a morning of birding within the Allegan State Game Area! We will have coffee and pastries to share.

Join our organizations as we sample a variety of habitats within Allegan State Game Area, starting with some woodland birding along Swan Creek. We will hike 1-1.5 miles along Swan Creek, looking for warblers, flycatchers, and other woodland species in their breeding territories. After this, we will check the farm unit, hoping to find grassland species such as Bobolink and Grasshopper Sparrow.

Hiking will be on fairly level dirt trails, with the remainder being roadside birding along both gravel and paved country roads. Mosquito repellent is advised, and sunscreen may be required.

Leaders: Kent Martin (256) 751-3358, Susan Creager

All levels welcome.

GR Participants: Meet the group in the Family Farm & Home parking lot, 1596 Lincoln Rd, Allegan, MI 49010.
