Winter Meeting Schedule

Grosse Pointe Audubon Winter 2020 Meeting Schedule

Jan. 27— An American Icon: Utah’s Red Rock Canyonlands
America’s red rock wilderness is the largest network of undesignated wilderness lands remaining in the lower 48 states. Today their wild character is threatened by oil and gas developments and damage from off-road vehicles. Clayton Daughenbaugh, conservation organizer with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, will tell us about efforts to ensure these wild places stay wild.

Feb. 24—Birding High Island
Mark O’Keefe and grandson Peter Moe will be presenting a program about spring birding in High Island, Texas. Mark and Peter have spent the last two Easter weekends in High Island getting an early start on spring migration. More than 2 billion birds migrate through the Texas Gulf Coast from mid March to late May. It's a great place to see all the birds species that will migrate to Michigan as well as some Southern and western specialties.

March 16—Preventing bird window deaths
Millions of birds in North America fatally strike windows each year. Strikes can occur on any building type--from single family homes to large towers. Nick Liadis, a research fellow at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, will tell us why birds strike windows and how we can design buildings to help birds safely navigate through cities.
