Spring 2009 www.detroitaudubon.org Volume 2009, Issue 2 Detroit Audubon Society Annual Program - March 28th The 2009 Annual Program will take place on Saturday, March 28th at the Southfield Parks and Recreation building in the Southfield Civic Center. This year’s program will feature a morning field trip to Carpenter Lake, live animals and lessons on animal life and nature photography. The day begins with a bird walk and tour of the new Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve. Mary Carlock, Southfield naturalist, will give an overview of the history and vision for the development and discuss what is planned for the future. At the Parks and Recreation Building, just in time for spring, Becky Johnson from the Detroit Zoo is going to present a program detailing the metamorphosis of amphibians. Then Beth Duman will show her collection of Michigan snakes and discuss their natural history. Our annual membership meeting will be held during the lunch break to inform members of the state of DAS and to discuss programs in progress and plans for new programs. After the break, Joe Rogers will present his program on raptors, hawks and owls found in Michigan. Joe will have several live birds to display. The last session of the day will be devoted to the rapidly advancing field of digital nature photography. Make every effort to attend the program this year. Space is limited, so send in your registration soon. We have tried to keep the fees low and have a great family rate, however, we suggest infants and toddlers not come.
