Please join us for a visit to Watkins Lake, the newest Michigan state park.
Jackson Audubon’s tour be to Watkins Lake State Park and County Preserve
(http://www.michigandnr.com/ParksandTrails/Details.aspx?id=746&type=SPRK#overview),
east of Brooklyn. Watkins Lake typically has large numbers of waterfowl during migration. In past years, tours have seen tundra, greater white-fronted, snow, Ross's, and cackling geese among the Canadas and bald and golden (once) eagles. The lake is windier than your yard, so wear an extra layer and a hat. Please arrive in time for a carpool to leave promptly at 9 a.m. from the east side (nearest Summit Township’s offices) of the Polly’s Country Market parking lot, 2119 Ferguson Road, Jackson (42.198482, -84.439890). if you would rather drive separately, meet the group on Arnold Road at the south end of the lake, 1,000 feet north of Horning Road (42.121215, -84.137901).
Site information is available at the Michigan DNR webpage.
