Tue, 04/19/2016 - 5:10pm by monkk

Join the Michigan Birdbrains – a group of youth and young adults who are blind or visually impaired who have learned to identify and enjoy our fabulous Michigan birds by sound, not by sight - on Saturday, May 14th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Gallup Park Canoe Livery From the returning migratory birds to the wintering residents of the landscape we will join in celebration of the songs and sounds surrounding us in our urban habitat. All are welcome to join in the fun! If you are blind or visually impaired, this is a special treat, as the focus will be on what our birds sound like and not on what they look like!
