SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Birding Walks at Sportsman’s Park East Jordan
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Petoskey Regional Audubon Society invites you to birding walks at Sportsman’s Park in East Jordan, on Wednesdays in May from 6:30-8pm. During this walk we will explore multiple habitat types.  Participants will meet at the Sportsman’s Park parking area ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/obEZpruJghZjY4C59 ).  Please bring your binoculars. Knowledgeable guide and PRAS member and past President, Darrell Lawson, will be available for each group to identify bird species by sight or vocalization and to answer questions.\nThe first area we will visit is the platform overlooking the mouth of the Jordan River.  This location features a deep river channel bordered by mudflats and cattail marshes.  The area usually holds many dabbling ducks, geese, swans, herons (potential for Great Egret), Sandhill Cranes, coots, and others.  Shorebirds may be patrolling the mudflats and river edges.\nThe second area we will visit is the new Don & Eileen Klein Nature Trail.  This walk includes some scrubby hardwood forest and an extensive boardwalk through a large cattail marsh.  Here there should be plenty of blackbirds, sparrows, and the potential for rails.  Raptors including Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Red-shouldered Hawks, Northern Harrier, Osprey, Merlin and others are a possibility in any area.  This walk should allow participants to see many of Michigan’s spectacular resident and migratory bird species!\nNotes: \n\nRSVP is not necessary to attend the bird walk. Just show up.\nPlease do not bring pets as these can disrupt both the behavior of the birds and the birding experience for others.\nBring binoculars if you have them. If not, loaner pairs will be available.\nRestrooms are available at the parking area.\nBeginning birders always welcome.\nNo pets. No smoking.\nChildren welcome with adult supervision.\nDress for conditions and insect protection.\n\n
