Description

Summer Birding in Lakeshore State Park! Lakeshore State Park hosts several shorebird, grassland birds, and waterfowl species. The open areas are also an excellent place to view up to six species of swallows: Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, Bank Swallow, Cliff Swallow, and Purple Martin (if we're lucky). Join birder Chuck Stebelton for a guided bird walk around the perimeter and paths of Lakeshore State Park. We’ll seek out the park’s best bird habitats to identify as many species as we can. Please dress for the weather and plan to walk in varied terrain. Bring your binoculars if you have them; no previous birding experience required. Chuck Stebelton is author most recently of An Apostle Island (Oxeye Press, 2021). His previous poetry collections include The Platformist (Cultural Society, 2012) andCirculation Flowers (Tougher Disguises, 2005). He served as Literary Program Director at Woodland Pattern Book Center from 2005 to 2017.
