DATE: May 23, 2026

TIME: 7:30 am to hear dawn chorus – We will begin walking at 8am and will cover about a mile. The walk can take 1 1/2 – 2 hours. Bring snacks to share, if you would like.

ATTENDEES: Members and non-members are welcome

MEET LOCATION: Matt’s house – 133 East Buffalo Road, Negaunee, MI

PARKING: Park on the side of the driveway, in the grass is fine, just try not to block other people in.

LEADER: Matt Betts

CONDITIONS: The trail consists mainly of mowed grass pathways, but there will be some low, wet, muddy spots. Bring water, sunscreen, and bug spray. Wear sturdy shoes and rugged (LONG) pants. Please come prepared for the predicted weather.

PLAN: Matt will guide us through his property of upland mixed shrubs and hardwoods to low cedar swamps. Expect to see Warblers, Sparrows, Thrushes, Flycatchers, possibly Ruffed Grouse, Sandhill Cranes, but at this time of the year, anything is possible!
