The second outing in a 2-part field trip exchange with Oakland Bird Alliance will be taking place in Eastern Michigan and will visit several parks along the edge of Lake Erie. We’ll begin with an early stop at the Detroit River IWR and then we will work our way south to Lake Erie Metropark for some hawk watching and other wildlife and then we will make our way to Sterling State Park to complete our Lake Erie shoreline trip. We’ll begin by meeting at 9 AM at the Detroit River location and spend most of the day birding our way around these locations. Bring a lunch/snack since we may or may not take time for lunch.

NOTE: This description was written for the Oakland Bird Alliance newsletter, and they will be birding all day. Grand Rapids Audubon Club members may need to leave to return home before they have completed birding for the day. We are welcome to join them on their entire day of birding, but you may want to make hotel arrangements if you want to spend the entire day with them since it is a 2.5-3 hour trip back to Grand Rapids from their final birding location.
