There are just 11 days left to join a Kirtland's Warbler Tour, and Michelle Lithgow Photography's recent experience is a great reminder of what makes these tours so special.

"Croix was a knowledgeable guide, and his enthusiasm was infectious, even managing to keep my husband engaged despite not being a big birder. I've not seen him with the binoculars to his face so much before! We're both very much looking forward to attending another year!"

Over the past few days Kristy, our Events and Outreach Manager, visited three of our U.P. sanctuaries as part of our 2026 Summer Bioblitz. On Tuesday, she was joined by two U.P. birders at Riverbank Sanctuary in Manistique.

There's still plenty of time to participate in the Summer BioBlitz! Whether you join us for an Exploration Day or visit a sanctuary on your own, every observation helps us better understand and celebrate biodiversity found across Michigan Audubon's sanctuaries.

This mama loon was caring for more than her own eggs.

One of our community members, Marilyn Gates, recently shared a remarkable wildlife observation from Northern Michigan. While watching a Common Loon on a nesting platform, she witnessed a newly hatched Canada Goose gosling climb onto the loon's back, behavior typically seen in loon chicks.

The unusual interaction began weeks earlier when a Canada Goose laid two eggs alongside two loon eggs on the nest. The mama loon incubated all four eggs, and when one of the goslings hatched, Marilyn had a front-row seat to an extraordinary moment.
