Share your latest bird sightings and learn more about some of the bird species commonly found during autumn in southwest Michigan during monthly Birds and Coffee chats, offered by the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. All events begin at 10 a.m. on Zoom.
The Sanctuary’s popular Birds and Coffee Walk series has temporarily moved to an online format. The next chat, on Wednesday, Jan. 13, will feature W.K. Kellogg Biological Station educators Lisa Duke, Kara Haas and Misty Klotz, who will focus their talk on year-round waterfowl; specifically, Trumpeter, Tundra and Mute Swans, Canada Geese and Mallard Ducks.
The February chat, set for Wednesday, Feb. 10, will look at European birds, focusing on the Great Tit, Eurasian Blackcap and Blackbird, European Robin, and House Sparrow. This chat will be led by KBS science education and outreach fellow Elizeth Cinto Mejía.
The March chat will take place Wednesday, March 10. In this chat, we’ll study woodpeckers, including Red-bellied, Hairy, Red-headed and Pileated woodpeckers, and Northern Flickers.
Birds and Coffee chats are free and open to the public, but donations are welcome, and registration is required to access information on how to join the events.
