Events Single Title Birding Allegan State Game Area
–
May 30, 2026
We are inviting the Grand Rapids Audubon Club to this event, which will be our second collaboration, having been invited to their Blandford Nature Center event on May 9. We will have coffee and pastries to share.
Join our organizations as we sample a variety of habitats within Allegan State Game Area, starting with some woodland birding along Swan Creek. We will hike 1-1.5 miles along Swan Creek, looking for warblers, flycatchers, and other woodland species in their breeding territories. After this, we will check the farm unit, hoping to find grassland species such as Bobolink and Grasshopper Sparrow.
Hiking will be on fairly level dirt trails, with the remainder being roadside birding along both gravel and paved country roads. Mosquito repellent is advised, and sunscreen may be required.
✅ ASK participants and guests, meet at the Oakland Drive/I-94 park & ride at 8:15am to join the caravan, or at 9:00am in the Family Farm & Home parking lot, 1596 Lincoln Road, Allegan, where we will meet our Grand Rapids Audubon Club guests.
Leaders: Kent Martin (256) 751-3358, Susan Creager, (269)
