Hartland Audubon Nature Club
Michigan’s expert on Kirtland’s warbler, Bill Rapai, will visit the Hartland Audubon Nature Club on April 1, 2025, 7 PM to speak about this iconic bird.
The Kirtland’s warbler is the rarest warbler species in North America and 98% spend spring and summer in Michigan. The total population fell below 400 birds in the 1970’s and 1980’s, driven largely by a loss of habitat and the introduction of a parasite. A small group of dedicated biologists, researchers and volunteers vowed to save Kirtland’s warbler despite long odds. Come hear Bill’s story of the warbler’s survival and gradual recovery, the people and policies that kept it from extinction and the ongoing challenges that may again jeopardize the bird’s future.
Our guest speaker authored The Kirtland’s Warbler: The story of a bird’s fight against extinction and the people who saved it. He currently serves as Executive Director of Michigan’s Kirtland’s Warbler Alliance and was past president of Grosse Pointe Audubon Society. He has traveled world-wide to view and research birds and was an award-winning reporter and editor for the Grand Forks Herald, the Detroit Free Press, and the Boston Globe.
Join us Tuesday, April 1, 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 and open to the public. For more information go to www.hartlandaudubon.weebly.com or visit us on Facebook.
