Our monthly field trip is scheduled for this Saturday, June 3. We will bird the Allegan State Game Area in the morning and enjoy lunch at the Crane’s Pie Pantry Restaurant west of Fennville at midday.
Allow about an hour of travel time from Muskegon to the US-31 / M-89 interchange south of Holland. We we will meet at 8:30 in the parking lot of the Shell gas station a half mile east of the interchange where M-89 crosses the Blue Star Highway. From there we will drive to various places on the nearby farm properties of the Allegan State Game Area to look for whatever birds we can find. Having a walkie-talkie in your vehicle tuned to Channel 11, Subchannel 0 can be helpful, but is not necessary.
Around noon we’ll drive to the Crane’s Orchard Pie Pantry Restaurant, 6054 124th Ave. (M-89), Fennville, MI. for lunch. Some of us may return to Muskegon with a stop at New Richmond Bridge Park along the north side of the Kalamazoo River .
This trip is open to the public. Hope to see you there.
