One way to see several of our parks is to go on free bird walks held on Wednesdays. No registration is required. Just show up. Here is the latest email invite from our Oakland Township Natural Areas Stewardship Manager, Dr. Ben Vanderweide
Hi Birders!
I’m sending this message as we transition to our summer schedule.
Tomorrow, May 29 is the 5th Wednesday of May, so we’ll have a special bird walk at Charles Ilsley Park starting at 8:30 am. The entrance to Charles Ilsley Park is on the north side of the road at 1479 East Predmore Road, Oakland, MI 48363. It’s about 1.5 miles east of Rochester Road. Look for the mailbox for 1500 E. Predmore, and the somewhat narrow park entrance will be right next to the mailbox.
From June to August our walks will start at 8:00 am. We’ll keep the same rotation of parks for our summer schedule. Check https://oaklandnaturalareas.com/volunteer-calendar/birding-walks/ to see the full schedule for the summer.
- 1st Wednesday – Bear Creek Nature Park
- 2nd Wednesday- Cranberry Lake Park
- 3rd Wednesday – Fox Nature Preserve
- 4th Wednesday – Stony Creek Ravine Nature Park
I’ll be out of town the first two weeks of June, so Grant will be leading those bird walks. Hope you see you out in the Parks!
Ben
