Winter Bird Trip #1 - Waterfowl Wonders

Mid-winter can be a great time to check the waters at the southern tip of Lake Huron as well as the St. Clair River for large flocks of congregating diving ducks, such as Red- heads, Canvasbacks, Common and Red-breasted mergansers, Greater and Lesser scaup, and Long-tailed Ducks. A variety of gulls can sometimes be found here during winter as well, and we’ll certainly search for the Peregrine Falcons which make the bridge area their home. Be sure to dress for the weather conditions, as it is often very cold and windy near the water. This bird trip will include several stops and will conclude with an early afternoon lunch at a local restaurant (optional). This is a car pool trip – meet at the nature center.
