Spring Fling 2012
This April 27 - 29 marks the 24th Annual WPBO Spring Fling, when members and their guests “migrate” to Paradise, Michigan and the Whitefish Point area to visit with old friends, both human and avian. Many activities have been planned for another refreshing weekend of birding experiences.
Birders can expect excellent birding along with opportunities to learn more about avian migration and conservation in the Great Lakes. Attendees will learn from fellow birders, field trip leaders, and guest speakers.
Richard Crossley, the author of the revolutionary The Crossley ID Guide, is this year's banquet speaker.
WPBO Trip Report: Winter Birding around the Soo II
Our second Soo birding tour followed the pattern of the first. Rather cool weather combined with rather cool birds. On Saturday we concentrated on the Soo area, while on Sunday we moved to the west side of Chippewa county. Our leader was Jerry Ziarno, a veteran leader of many Soo tours and a top Michigan birder.
