Hartland Audubon Nature Club
The Hartland Audubon Nature Club will open the 2025-26 programs, on September 2, 2025, with Laurel Zoet, co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Green Oak Township, who will explain what makes finches special, such as social behaviors and adaptability to various environments.
If you have a bird feeder in Michigan, a charm (flock) of house finches and gold finches are frequent visitors. Finches are known for their vibrant colors, seed-based diet and gregarious behavior which makes them intriguing for birdwatchers. In Native American culture, a finch visit indicates happiness and joy. Laurel will help us identify fascinating finches that bring good tidings to our back yards.
Join us Tuesday, September 2, 2025, 7 PM, at the Hartland Education Support Service Center, 9525 E. Highland Road, Howell, MI 48843. Use the west entrance and look for our sign in the hall. Meetings are free, open to the public and all ages and levels of expertise are welcomed. For more information go to www.hartlandaudubon.weebly.com or visit us on Facebook.
