Fans of our feathered friends shared notable sightings and stories of birds at their feeders, at the August meeting of the Clarkston-area Backyard Birders Club.
Guest presenter Daryl Bernard, executive director of Seven Ponds Nature Center, shared useful tips for identifying birds in your backyard, described rare sightings in Michigan in recent months, and talked about the many fine birding spots just a short drive from Clarkston at the Aug. 29 meeting.
Daryl was the first guest speaker at the launching of the club last year, which has grown from 18 original members to more than 80, said club member Bill Haney.
The club meets monthly at The Gateway, 7150 N. Main Street, including Sept. 26, Oct. 24, and Nov. 28.
