SUMMARY:Shorebirds & Waders at Pointe Mouillee State Game Area (Members Only)
DESCRIPTION:Pointe Mouillee\, on Lake Erie near the mouth of the Huron River is one of the premier destinations in the Midwest for viewing shorebirds and waders\, but access is limited. Usually\, vehicles are restricted from entering\, but for this event\, we will be allowed to bring in four vehicles.

Bring insect repellent\, wear a hat and dress for warm weather—there is no shade or shelter at Pointe Mouillee. Bring all of the food and fluids you think you will need to sustain you for approximately five hours of birding. \nWe will need four larger vehicles to accommodate the group. If you have a larger vehicle and are willing to drive\, please contact James Weir at fieldtrips@washtenawbna.org. \nLeaders: Matt Spoor & Juliet Berger \nTo receive the checklist: tinyurl.com/ebirdlist

SUMMARY:Bikes and Shorebirds at Pointe Mouillee State Game Area
DESCRIPTION:Pointe Mouillee\, on Lake Erie near the mouth of the Huron River\, is one of the premier destinations in the Midwest for viewing shorebirds and waders. Access for cars is limited—but not for bikes! Join Andy Dettling for a pedal around the Pointe looking for shorebirds\, waders\, and other waterfowl. \nThe biking will be at a slow pace on gravel and dirt roads with frequent stops. Bikes with gravel tires or larger are recommended\, though a road bike may be suitable for more experienced/careful riders. \nBring insect repellent\, wear a hat/helmet\, and dress for warm weather—there is no shade or shelter at Pointe Mouillee. Bring all of the food and fluids you think you will need to sustain you for approximately four hours of birding. \nWe will access Pte. Mouillee via the parking lot off of Turnpike Rd. For those who have attended past WBNA trips to Pte. Mouillee\, please note that this is not the vehicle access gate on Sigler Rd. \nLooking for a ride with a bike rack? Have a bike rack and are willing to drive others? Please fill out this survey and we will do our best to pair willing drivers with those looking for a ride. (We cannot guarantee rides for everyone who requests one\, and carpools will be arranged on a first-come first-served basis.) \nFill Out the Carpool Survey \nLeader: Andy Dettling \nTo receive the checklist: tinyurl.com/ebirdlist

SUMMARY:Thursday Fall Migration Walks at Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday mornings at Nichols Arboretum as we search for fall migrants. These walks are a great opportunity to join with other birders of all skill levels.

SUMMARY:Ecological Restoration at Searles Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance owns a nature preserve? We do! Searles Nature Preserve is a 50-acre natural area that protects the headwaters of Stony Creek. \nDid you also know that 97% of North American land birds rely on animal\, mostly insect\, protein to raise their young? Most insects depend on specific native host plants for reproduction — which means a healthy\, diverse plant community is essential for sustaining bird populations. Learn more here. \nJoin us as we remove invasive species and improve habitat diversity to support the birds we love. Tools and guidance are provided. Please bring leather work gloves if you have them — we’ll also have some available to borrow. Wear long pants\, tall socks\, and closed-toe shoes or boots. \nDirections: Meet at the entrance to the preserve on Bolla Road between Crane and Stony Creek Roads. Map here

SUMMARY:Save the Date: Swift Nights Out
DESCRIPTION:Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance and the City of Ann Arbor Natural Area Preservation invite you to join us for our Annual Ann Arbor-Washtenaw County Chimney Swift count.  Watching Chimney Swifts enter their roosts at dusk is a spectacular sight (video and more information here). Volunteers will choose a known Chimney Swift roosting location and stake it out before dusk\, counting the Swifts as they enter the chimney\, as darkness falls. You can sign up for one night/one location at a time\, or count each night of the weekend.  \nChimney Swifts are in steep decline across North America and this volunteer effort is an important part of understanding how the species is faring in Washtenaw County. Habitat loss is one reason\, as well as decline of the insects they eat\, and other unknown factors. We are helping bird science by conducting this count! This is a great experience for non-birders—bring your friends and family to show them how these very cool aerial insectivores share our cities and towns with us.  \nNOTE: Occasionally the Swifts will not use a particular location on a given night due to a predator such as a Cooper’s Hawk\, or another issue. In that case\, “No Swifts” will still be good information for us! \nMore information about how to participate\, including a sign-up form\, will be posted here soon\, so please check back as the weekend gets closer.

SUMMARY:Ecological Restoration at Searles Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance owns a nature preserve? We do! Searles Nature Preserve is a 50-acre natural area that protects the headwaters of Stony Creek. \nDid you also know that 97% of North American land birds rely on animal\, mostly insect\, protein to raise their young? Most insects depend on specific native host plants for reproduction — which means a healthy\, diverse plant community is essential for sustaining bird populations. Learn more here. \nJoin us as we remove invasive species and improve habitat diversity to support the birds we love. Tools and guidance are provided. Please bring leather work gloves if you have them — we’ll also have some available to borrow. Wear long pants\, tall socks\, and closed-toe shoes or boots. \nDirections: Meet at the entrance to the preserve on Bolla Road between Crane and Stony Creek Roads. Map here

SUMMARY:Ecological Restoration at Searles Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance owns a nature preserve? We do! Searles Nature Preserve is a 50-acre natural area that protects the headwaters of Stony Creek. \nDid you also know that 97% of North American land birds rely on animal\, mostly insect\, protein to raise their young? Most insects depend on specific native host plants for reproduction — which means a healthy\, diverse plant community is essential for sustaining bird populations. Learn more here. \nJoin us as we remove invasive species and improve habitat diversity to support the birds we love. Tools and guidance are provided. Please bring leather work gloves if you have them — we’ll also have some available to borrow. Wear long pants\, tall socks\, and closed-toe shoes or boots. \nDirections: Meet at the entrance to the preserve on Bolla Road between Crane and Stony Creek Roads. Map here
