May 23, 2015BIG DAY COUNT
Feller DeWitt
The hard-core group will go all day from 4:45 a.m. until dark. Beginning at the outer gate at Lane's Landing we will spend several hours birding the Lane's Landing marsh and woods. Then it's State Game Area headquarters for late-morning birding and brown-bag-lunch at the headquarters building. Early afternoon at the Wastewater properties. Late afternoon wherever necessary species may take us. Supper at the McDonald's restaurant in North Muskegon, then to the other side of the interersection looking for birds at the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve before heading west to Muskegon State park's Snug Harbor woods and north side of Muskegon Channel. Everyone is welcome to bird with us all day or any part of the day. Our object: to count as many bird species as possible in one day and have as much fun as possible doing it.
