Winter Bird Walk

Everyone will head to the Port Huron area to look for waterfowl and gulls overwintering at on the southern end of Lake Huron and down the St. Clair River. Depending on the ice conditions on the Great Lakes, these areas can be teeming with huge rafts of diving ducks such as Long-tailed Duck, Redhead, Canvasback, Greater and Lesser scaup, and Common and Red-breasted mergansers. The group will check all the gull flocks they see, searching for something unusual, such as Great Black-backed, Lesser Black-backed, Glaucous, or Iceland gulls. Be sure to dress for the weather conditions, as it is often very cold and windy near the water. The group will be having lunch at a local restaurant before returning to the nature center, so please come prepared to purchase a lunch. This is a car pool trip. Minimum registration required to make this trip a “GO” so please register online at seveonponds.org.
