Dick Schinkel, Naturalist, will lead a car caravan through this extraordinary region. In addition to the Kirtland s Warbler, participants can expect to see the Pine, Mourning, and possibly, the Prairie Warblers. Clay-colored Sparrows and Upland Sandpipers are also usually seen. If time permits, side trips to the Houghton Lake Marsh and the Reedburg Impoundment will be taken. Lodging, if needed, is on our own.
Eagles abound, owls call, coyotes, otter and bear leave their tracks on the beach.
Our travels will lead us to the beautiful bays of Lake Huron and to the backwaters of the Thunder Bay River. This organization is a nonprofit conservation organization that sponsors research, management, and educational programs throughout North America in an effort to check the population decline of this precious bird. NALF also publishes scientific reports. It was the perfect week-end to be in New Hampshire, said Luanne. Many other loon protection organizations sent representatives for this three-day event.
