Location: Peter White Public Library, Shiras Room, 3rd Floor

Presenter: Gary Palmer, LWBA Board Member

LWBA board member Gary Palmer will present a refresher on the birds returning to the north woods this spring. Gary will be presenting an overview of many of the migrants that can be found throughout the Upper Peninsula as they travel back to breeding grounds.

Gary Palmer has been a longtime member of Laughing Whitefish Bird Alliance, serving on the board since 2012. He fell in love with birding over a decade ago during a spring field ornithology course at Northern Michigan University and has been utterly hooked ever since. Gary spent several seasons as a professional migration counter at sites such as Whitefish Point and Hawk Ridge and has spent summers censusing breeding birds in Illinois and Idaho.
