SUMMARY:Field Trip - Keagy Village Meadows Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Keagy Village Meadows – Saturday 8:00am \nLeader: Drew Daniels (248-459-6783) Grassy meadows birding is a different thing. Birders need to exercise a bit of patience\, as the grasses provide good protection for birds that nest and breed in these increasingly precious areas. Drew will show us a spot that can be productive for sparrows that may pop up at any time.  Birders will need to be ready for anything that may move suddenly in the grasses or fly overhead. Directions: At the intersection with Apperson Dr (US 11)\, head southbound on Electric Rd (Route 419)\, turning right onto Keagy Rd (Route 685).  The meet up location will be the parking lot behind the Famous Toastery restaurant.
