Winter Birding in the Eastern U.P. Tour
Are you eager to catch sight of winter finches? Dreaming of spotting Snowy Owls in their element? This winter, immerse yourself in the magic of Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula with Michigan Audubon’s Winter Birding Tour.
This two-day birding adventure takes you on a scenic journey through Sault Ste. Marie, Chippewa, and Mackinac counties. Led by experienced guides, you’ll travel in a car caravan through diverse winter habitats, where the beauty of the season sets the stage for unforgettable birding moments.
The fees for the U.P. birding tour are $150 for Michigan Audubon members and $175 for non-members. Please note that the trip fee does not include meals or lodging. More trip details will be provided to participants upon registration, and spots are limited.
This tour is designed for birders of all levels and rated EASY. You’ll spend most of the time in a car caravan, with light walking on snow-covered, gravel, or paved roads. Be prepared to brave the cold with short stints of walking and wildlife viewing while experiencing wintry elements.
Two dates are available for this tour: January 18-19 & February 8-9, 2025
Registration opens on October 25, 2024 at 9 a.m. Links will go live at that time.
