News And Chatter

  • The Oakland Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count (CBC) will take place on Saturday, December 18, 2010.  Please contact Scott Jennex for details.

  • The State Park Stewardship Unit of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment is offering a volunteer opportunity collecting native plant seeds at several State parks this fall.  Visit www.michigan.gov/dnrvolunteers for details (click on the "Calendar of Volunteer Stewardship Workdays") or see the attached flyer.





  • We are pleased to announce that David Frye will be our new Membership Officer effective immediately, succeeding Al Lewis.  Al has served our organization for many years and did so with energy and dedication.  If you are renewing your membership, if you could send your membership forms to Dave (address listed on the new membership form on the membership page), it would reduce the confusion as we move forward.  Please welcome Dave to the society's board.

  • Click on our Links page for the USFWS website containing daily updates and information on the Gulf Coast Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.  Donations to the Gulf Oil Spill Recovery can be made to National Audubon Society, American Birding Association and National Wildlife Federation.  Their websites are listed on our Links page. 

  • Come out and join us this summer on two excellent field trips: Butterflies at Indian Springs Metropark and Shorebirds at Pte. Mouillee SGA.  Click on our Field Trips page for details.

  • The September-October Nuthatch newsletter can be downloaded from the Nuthatch page of the website.
 
  • A new link has been added to the Links page for Licensed Bird Rehabilitators.  Use this link to find a list of  bird rehabilitators that can be contacted if you find an injured or orphaned bird.


  • A note to our members - please contact OAS President, Don Burlett to indicate how you would like to receive the Nuthatch.  We are trying to reduce costs and would like to have as many members as possible either get the newsletter from this site or have it e-mailed directly to them.  Please take a moment to consider how much money we could use for other programs if we reduce newsletter mailing costs.  We look forward to hearing from you.

  • If you have any news that is current and should be communicated to our members, please contact Don Burlett,  OAS President.
