Arnie was able to share many interesting facts about the area due to its connection with Huron Pines and the Kirtland\u2019s Warbler tours as well as learning about the trout fishery that was once active on the river. Gary Wall and Carol Wells camped the night proceeding our get together and had the place to themselves! It is certainly a beautiful and peaceful place to be.<br \/>\nA few of us spotted Redheaded Woodpeckers and other birds on the drive to the campground. The enthusiastic conversations about birds, family, summer activities, upcoming trips etc. never slowed down until all departed by 7:15.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2713\" src=\"http:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0775.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0775.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0775-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2712\" src=\"http:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0773.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0773.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0773-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I wish you all could\u2019ve been with us.<br \/>\nHopefully, we will all be together on September 11, in East Tawas for thefirst official meeting of the new AVA birding year.<br \/>\nBest regards,<br \/>\nSue<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2711\" src=\"http:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0772.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0772.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ausablevalleyaudubon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/untitled-0772-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our first unofficial activity of the new birding year took place on Friday, August 24 at Pine River Campground.
