Birding Field Trip

  • Camp Miniwanca 8845 West Garfield Road Shelby, MI, 49455 United States (map)

Suzie Knoll will lead a field trip within American Youth Foundation’s Camp Miniwanca property. Participants will see several species of brightly-colored warblers that briefly stop to forage for insects along the long journey back to their northern breeding grounds. We will also see many other species of birds that are establishing breeding territories in the forested habitat at the Camp. Knoll will point out characteristics for identifying birds by sight and song. Bring your own binoculars if you have them; we will have a few extra on hand if needed. The field trip will take place under light rain conditions but will be cancelled in the event of medium to heavy rain. Space is limited to 20 participants.
