Upcoming Washtenaw Audubon Events

May 10 2008
International Migratory Bird Count
International Migratory Bird Count, Saturday, May 10th, 2008 is arguably one of the most anticipated birding events of the year. Participate in this international activity at the local level. County coordinator for Washtenaw May Count is Roger Wykes. In past years Washtenaw County has topped the state with most participants and most species counted. (Roger reviewed the 2007 May Count results at the June, 2007 Wednesday evening meeting at Matthei, but I cannot remember where Washtenaw stood.)

Update: There have been postings by many area leaders who need help counting their areas. Contact Roger Wykes by phone - 734/769-6482 - to participate in this exciting day.

Impromptu field trip invitation, Dolph Park, Ann Arbor
Dolph Park, Sunday, May 11th, 2008. Meet at Dolph Park in Ann Arbor at 7:30 am - Wagner Road entrance. Leader: Karen Markey. For directions click on the website below:

www-personal.umich.edu

We've had a generous offer from Karen to lead this last minute field trip add on. Dolph Park is a favored migrant trap in Ann Arbor. In the throes of spring migration, our passing-through visitors will be the focus of the morning. Rails, shorebirds, swifts, swallows, flycatchers, mimics ... not to mention tanagers, grosbeaks, warblers and sparrows ... should all be possible. Of course, at Dolph, there is always the chance for a surprise find, too. Join Karen this coming Sunday to bird our local hotspot. You won't be disappointed.
