    Spring 2015 Flyway Volume 2015, Issue 1 a publication of Detroit Audubon • www.detroitaudubon.org Detroit Audubon Young Birder’s Report By Bridget Stempien Hello everyone! I would first like to say that this has been a very exciting opportunity for me to lead this group and a great way for other young birders in the area to come together. For our first outing, we all gathered at Kensington Metropark for a morning of birding. We had a lot of fun feeding the Chickadees and Tufted Titmice (Titmouses) that followed us throughout the trail. We were able to see a few White-breasted Nuthatches, a female Downy Woodpecker, and a Red-bellied Woodpecker. A member or our group, Jared Zaporski, even spotted a Bald Eagle! A warm thanks to Leonard Weber for leading our group on our first outing. Also a special thanks to Detroit Audubon President Jim Bull for joining us and providing donuts and hot chocolate for the entire group. For our second outing, we went to the University of Michigan Natural History Museum in Ann Arbor. We were given a behind the scenes tour of the Zoology Department’s Ornithology lab. There, we were able to see how specimens are prepared (stuffed with cotton) and how they are stored. With over 200,000 specimens, the University of Michigan has the largest collection of specimens in the United States, and they are recognized as a top research facility throughout the world! They have rare and exotic bird specimens that are quite colorful, and they have many specimens of extinct species, like the Carolina Parakeet (I’d heard of that species before), a Passenger Pigeon (not stuffed with cotton but had been preserved through taxidermy), and a little flightless bird from Hawaii (there exist World War II videos which show these extinct birds running around the feet of U.S.

    Each spring, for the past 30 years, Friends of the Rouge works with citizens, communities, and supporters across the Rouge River watershed to restore, clean, protect, and appreciate the river that sustains them...the Rouge. As the successor to many clean up events that preceded it, Rouge Rescue honors and recognizes those whose early efforts to protect and restore the Rouge River were met with opposition and ignorance, yet who persisted determinedly. We proudly carry Trillium at Douglas Evans Nature Preserve in that torch through each decade, embracing Beverly Hills every opportunity to educate new generations about their impact on the river and teach them that they have the power to protect and care for this splendid resource for the benefit of generations to come. The event would not be successful without you, the volunteers. We appreciate the hard work and dedication you have shown us over the past 30 years. As we celebrate our anniversary, we are thankful for you and the site coordinators who work so hard to make each site a successful event. It’s not easy coordinating a site and we appreciate Workers at Cass Benton were given photos to identify invasive plant species to be removed at their site. your continued efforts. We also could not do this good work without the support of our corporate sponsors, many of whom also coordinated projects for their employees or sent a team to an existing work site. We are grateful for their support and contributions. Board member, Alice Bailey, brought her children out to plant a native garden in Northville.
