Nature Discovery's Michigan Reptiles, Amphibians, Bugs and Bird Calls
Michigan Reptiles, Amphibians, Bugs and Bird Calls Free Family Fun! The more you learn about the wild world around you the better off it is, AND the more interesting your time becomes when you are outdoors. Jim & Carol McGrath of Nature Discovery are back to show and discuss live samples of Michigan-native reptiles and amphibians specifically found here in Benzie County. They'll also feature some live insects and aid participants in "birding by ear" - identifying many species of birds as they sing right around the pavilion. Bring binoculars if you have a pair. A Michigan Birds Checklist from Nature Discovery which features all of the 300 birds found in Michigan will be handed out to each family while supplies last. Extra copies for purchase will be available for $1 each. Sponsored by the Betsie Valley District Library. For info call 231-378-2716. Some picnic tables are available, kindly bring your chairs or a blanket to sit on. Program may be rescheduled due to inclement weather. The Thompsonville Fire Hall and Community Center is located at 14714 Lincoln Ave. Thompsonville, MI 49683.
