WATERFOWL! 

 Hey everyone, there's an exciting new event coming up!

Saturday, October 26th we will be heading out to Muskegon Waste Water Treatment Plant. That may not sound glamorous, but huge numbers of waterfowl concentrate here during migration due to abundant resources, lots of water, and that lovely sewage smell.

Here is a link to their recent sightings blog: birds are awesome!

It looks like there have been a couple uncommon gulls seen and some shorebirds still hanging around. But most exciting is the tens of thousands of ducks swimming about! I do not know what 15,000 Ruddy Ducks looks like, but I can't wait to find out! Hope to see you there!

More details to follow~ we will always meet behind the Natural Resources Building since it is a large, free parking lot on campus. Stay tuned for what time we'll meet and make sure you check out the Facebook event! It's a good place for people to get quick responses to questions. Our email address is msubirdingclub@gmail.com if you have any questions about the club. Fundraising events coming soon!

MEETING next week on Tuesday, October 22 in Room 221 Natural Resources at 7pm. We'll discuss potential sightings and do some other fun stuff.

As always, we welcome anyone and everyone to our events. A couple years ago, I knew my backyard birds and that was about it. TRY NEW THINGS you never know when it will amount to your greatest passion (or obsession).

: ) Check out that bill!
