Saturday Sept. 1.  Meet at Lake Bluff Audubon at 8:00am.  We will travel to First St. Pier, the Manistee State Game Area (on Manistee Lake) and if time permits the Onekama Sewage Ponds a restricted area that often has good numbers of shorebirds and we have permission to visit.

Arcadia Marsh in Summer

It's a good time to see Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons and if you are lucky, American Bitterns at Arcadia Marsh in August and September.  Also check out the wildflowers!
