October 18 Wren Program Report

At Covenant Life Church in Grand Haven this evening Dale Kennedy and Doug White presented a program perfect for the audience from the Grand Haven and Muskegon Audubon clubs.  Using images and audio from ever-changing technologies, they explained the various behaviors and vocalizations of male and female house wrens on the many territories at Albion College’s Whitehouse Nature Center.  Afterward they answered questions from the audience.

October 8 Field Trip Report

Seven of us birded areas around Muskegon Lake on Saturday, October 8, hoping to see migrating raptors and blue jays.  The harsh winds prevented us from traveling out the Pere Marquette pier very far so we headed for the channel.

While it was less windy, it was not very birdy at the channel.  We checked out Muskegon lake near Harbor Towne, Cottage Grove launch ramp, and finally Grand Trunk launch ramp and ended the October Big Day with 25 species, including Blue-winged Teals and an American Pipit at the pier, a Common Raven at the channel, a Great Egret at the Cottage Grove launch, and an Orange-crowned Warbler at the Grand Trunk launch ramp.  We hope you can join us on November 12 when we explore Muskegon State park’s Snug Harbor.
