BIRDING WEEKEND 2015

Once again, the boys at Peckerwood Farm are hosting our annual birding festival of fun. This year the festivities begin on Friday, May 8 with a casual dinner of pizza & salad at the farm.  Our weekend continues with morning birding at Warren Woods State Park followed by lunch.  The afternoon is yours to explore Harbor Country or perhaps visit the new Galien River Park in New Buffalo, with it's impressive elevated platform and river walk. On Saturday evening, we will have a casual dinner around the fire pit at the farm. We end the weekend on Sunday morning with a leisurely gathering for coffee and pastries at Peckerwood. Hang with your friends before heading home or explore more birding opportunities at the farm.  We hope you will join us for a fun filled spring weekend in beautiful southwest Michigan.
