As we transition to the spring and the return of lots of songbirds we have much to look forward to enjoying. On March 15 we will be gathering at the Environmental Interpretive Center on the campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn to learn about the magic of maple trees. The late winter snows will help to bring forth that delicious liquid gold from the Sugar maple trees. Please join us as we find ways to partake in the maple syrup.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mark your calendars for the next weekend event. May 9-11 will be our Migratory program celebrating the return of the songbirds. We are staying at Clear Lake Camp in Battle Creek as we welcome the songbirds back to nest and raise their families. Details for registration will be coming soon. Thanks for all you do to care for our environment as we enjoy the beauty around us,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Donna Posont<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Coordinator: Birding by Ear and Beyond<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Environmental Interpretive Center<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>University of Michigan-Dearborn<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>4901 Evergreen Road<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dearborn, Michigan 48126<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>313-220-8140<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>dposont@umich.edu<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
