About

Fall is when waterfowl migrate to warmer waters, and hundreds of birds make a pit stop to rest on the Sanctuary’s Wintergreen Lake. More than 80 different bird species have been spotted at the Sanctuary during November in past years.

Visitors will be able to practice waterfowl identification along the lakeshore and visit stations along the Sanctuary’s accessible Paved Path to learn about waterfowl, game birds and raptors.

Planned activities

• Live bird of prey demonstrations at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.
• Owl pellet dissections at 1 and 3 p.m. (ages 8 and older)
• Sessions on waterfowl identification
• Children’s games and crafts
• Donuts and cider
• Several local organizations with informational tables: W.K. Kellogg Manor House, Kalamazoo River Watershed Council, Kingman Museum, Michigan Botanical Society Southwestern Chapter, and Audubon Society of Kalamazoo

This event is free for members and non-members alike. No registration is required.
