The season is for mating and that requires lots of noise for match-making. Most of the singers have been here all winter, but, now they have something to sing about.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In the next few weeks and during the month of May we will meet many varvelous Michigan migrators. They will be flying back north to raise their families and help continue their species.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is where we come in. On the weekend ofMay 9-11 we will have the opportunity to walk through the woods and explorevarious habitats to witness the return of the marvelous Michigan migrators. With plenty of time for fun, fellowship, and of course food we will focus on meeting the migrators and learn to identify them by song and call. This sense-sational skill is known as Birding by Ear and you can easily find success in the outdoor classroom. Clear Lake camp consists of dorms for sleeping and a giant lodge for enjoying eating, participating in programming and gathering for games galore. At this peak migration moment we are spending two nights and three days at Clear Lake camp with the Outdoor Education center in Battle Creek , Michigan.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please save the date and email <a href="mailto:DPosont@umich.edu">DPosont@umich.edu</a> to register and I will be in touch with follow up details. .
