Lansing, MI -(AmmoLand.com)- The Michigan Department of Natural Resources invites wildlife watchers to celebrate spring and explore Michigan’s Wetland Wonders with a birding tour at one of several state game and wildlife areas around the state.

Spring birding tours continue through the end of April and into May.

Please note that the Shiawassee River State Game Area tour originally scheduled for April 16 has been postponed to May 14 because of widespread flooding and poor road conditions on the game area.

Highlights of the birding tours may include diving and dabbling ducks in full breeding plumage, trumpeter and tundra swans, osprey, bald eagles, sandhill cranes and much more. DNR wildlife biologists and technicians and volunteers from Ducks Unlimited and Audubon clubs will lead the tours, which may include a “sneak peek” driving tour into refuge areas that normally are closed.

Upcoming birding tour dates and locations include:

  • April 23 at 9 a.m.
    Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area
    1570 Tower Beach Road, Pinconning
    989-697-5101
