Consider joinig us for our first ever Vernal Equanox Birding weekend which  will be held March 21-23 at Wildwood Ranch in Howe and is being sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind of Michigan and the University of Michigan Dearborn. Though we did not officially participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count with Cornell University we will still be listening and recording our birding data to submit to Cornell as citizen scientists. The outdoor event should be a perfect mixture of warming temperatures while still providing the snow for sled riding and snow tubing. Traveling the trails may not provide for such a slippery experience with frozen toes and noses. On the other hand the weather cannot be predicted or promised. In the event there is an extreme chill in the air there will also be plenty of indoor activities including smors games and crafts aroun the fireplace. Program items include; Noting new  nesting; Talking turkey; March Migratory madness; Branches, buds and Bark; Tracks and treats;Birdfeeder building and at least one rousing game of the world famous Braille Birdbrain Jeopardy complete with prizes.

Checkin is at 6p m Friday March 21 and checkout is Sunday afternoon at 3p m. The registration includes six warm meals and lodging.
