Saturdays, April 11 & April 18

Schlitz Audubon’s shoreline and diverse wetland habitats attract numerous waterfowl species throughout the year. This two-part certificate program explores the duck species that nest in our area, stopover during migration, or overwinter on Lake Michigan. Learners will delve into the size, shape, plumage patterns, and ecology of the dabbling and diving duck species most frequently observed here. Learn the key diagnostics and differences of the two groups and also of individual species. Discover why each group is so well adapted to their habitat and to spending part or all of their year here locally. We will supplement our studies with visual displays, taxidermy, and handouts. Weather permitting, a portion of each class will include a hike to Lake Michigan or our ponds to practice field identification skills.
