The Forest Beach Migratory Preserve will hold its second annual
International Migratory Bird Day celebration on Saturday May 7 at Belgium,
Wis. Come and see how habitat restoration conducted over the past year has
transformed a fading golf course along the shore of Lake Michigan into a
landscape highly attractive to migrating birds. And do so in the heart of
the migration season!
Activities geared for all ages begin at 7:30 a.m. and continue through the
morning, including:
- Guided bird walks
- Bluebird house demonstrations
- Erection of a purple martin house
- Photography blinds overlooking newly restored wetlands
- Hawk watch platform
- Bird viewing station on beach
Attendees can also see presentations on migratory birds and their Lake
Michigan habitats, get an update on the rapidly expanding Bird City
Wisconsin recognition effort and hear the results of bird monitoring at the
site. There also will be other displays from local conservation groups.
