SUMMARY:Special Meeting: Removing "Audubon" From Our Name
DESCRIPTION:There has been a recent movement among a number of Audubon clubs to remove the word “Audubon” from the name of each organization. The current board of Washtenaw Audubon supports a name change due to the historical evidence for John James Audubon’s slave ownership and racist opinions. Among the Audubon groups that have changed their name or are considering doing so are Detroit Audubon\, New York City Audubon\, Madison Audubon\, Washington DC Audubon\, and Seattle Audubon. \nThe meeting on June 21 at 7:30pm in the UM Matthaei Botanical Gardens auditorium is to present the reasons for the proposed change\, and answer any questions that members or any interested  non-members may have. \nWe have not made a decision on which name to choose if members agree that a name change is desirable. Members will vote at a future date on whether to change the name of the organization or not. \nEveryone with an interest in the issue is invited to attend the informational meeting on June 21.

SUMMARY:Prothonotary Paddle
DESCRIPTION:It has been a few short years since the beautiful Prothonotary Warbler colonized a stretch of the Huron River from Hudson Mills through Delhi MetroPark and beyond. They sing their cheery song from close to their cavity nests along the river. They are best viewed from the water\, and there are always a large variety of other birds to see on this float trip. \nThe trip is eight miles long\, and usually takes about 3 ½ hours to complete\, but we’ll stop for good birds\, a picnic\, etc.\, and your car will be waiting for you at the other end. We will have a picnic spot picked out that is approximately halfway\, for those who wish to stay with the group. Bring your own picnic and beverages. \nBook your own boat(s) for the “Hudson Mills to Delhi MetroPark Long Trip” directly from Skip’s Canoe Livery at www.paddlethehuron.com and review the details on their site. Make sure to select the 9am option on June 17th. On the day of the event\, if you are renting a canoe/kayak\, we recommend arriving at Skip’s by 8:30 to check-in\, park\, and pick up the required\, provided personal flotation device. \nPaddlers with their own boats\, meet at Hudson Mills\, Rapids View area (map here) to launch by 9:00 a.m. \nLeaders: Juliet Berger & Matthew Spoor \neBird Checklist Signup: If you are attending this event and would like the eBird checklist from this walk shared with you\, please fill out this form (you may do this onsite well): tinyurl.com/eBirdList \n  \nAll are welcome and encouraged to join us. New to birding? Bird curious? No binoculars? No problem! There is no better way to learn than to get out in the field with experienced birders that love to help. Plus\, you get to meet awesome people. Absolutely everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out. We will have many pairs of quality binoculars on hand for anyone to use.

SUMMARY:Moth Night
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been to a moth party? Moths are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth. Scientists estimate there are 150\,000 to more than 500\,000 moth species.\nTheir colors and patterns are either dazzling or so cryptic that they define camouflage. Shapes and sizes span the gamut from as small as a pinhead to as large as an adult’s hand.\nMost moths are nocturnal\, and need to be sought at night to be seen – others fly like butterflies during the day. Finding them can be as simple as leaving a porch light on and checking it after dark. Serious moth aficionados use special lights and baits to attract them. \nJoin us as longtime friends of WAS\, Susan Kielb and Heidi Trudell\, guide us through the process of attracting\, identifying\, and enjoying these amazing creatures. \nSuggestions for Attendees: \n\nA headlamp or flashlight would be nice to have.\nNinja night with moths! Wearing black is the best way to keep moths on the sheet and not your shirt.\nIt might be nice to bring a camp chair if you would like to sit.\n\nDirections: Meet at the main Barton parking lot near the dam.
