THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ATTRACTION! Tawas Point Birding Festival
Thursday, May 17- Sunday May 20
The Tawas Point Birding Festival, a Michigan Audubon event, is attended by birders from around the world! Tawas Point was a beacon for migrating birds long before lake-going navigators used the Point to negotiate the waters of Lake Huron. Festival participants enjoy some of the best birding in the Great Lakes region; Tawas Point is well known for high concentrations of migrating warblers during the month of May. Recent species highlights include: Kirtland's Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Golden-winged Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-crowned Sparrow, numerous raptors, shorebirds, and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to hone your birding skills!
