Register for Webinar on Spring Birds at St. Clair Flats

Join MI Birds Friday, April 26, at noon for "Demystifying Michigan’s Wetland Wonders Webinar: St. Clair Flats State Wildlife Area.”

This free lunch-hour webinar is an excellent opportunity to learn about one of the best places in Michigan to experience the wonders of spring bird migration. In all, more than 400 bird species are expected to return or travel through our state this season!

St. Clair Flats is one of Michigan’s Wetland Wonders, an Audubon Important Bird Area and a coastal priority area where Audubon Great Lakes is working to restore the region’s wetlands for birds and people. Learn about the conservation work being done to help protect the St. Clair Flats and vulnerable bird species like the black tern that rely on it to thrive. Discover which birds visit the area during migration and how to take advantage of the area’s outdoor recreation activities.

Special guest speakers will include:

  • John Darling, wildlife technician, Michigan DNR.
  • Jenni Fuller, project coordinator, National Audubon Society.
  • Ava Landgraf, conservation and research coordinator, Detroit Bird Alliance.

The event will take place virtually. RSVP to reserve your spot today. We hope to see you there!

This webinar is presented in partnership with MI Birds, a public outreach and education program by Audubon Great Lakes and the DNR. MI Birds aims to bridge the divide and deepen all Michiganders' engagement in the understanding, care and stewardship of public lands that are important for birds and local communities.
