Michigan State Bird Observatory

...where we integrate avian research, the training of current and future wildlife professionals, and the education of people of all ages, while showcasing the diversity of avian wildlife inhabiting mid-Michigan.

We are closed for the season. Thanks to all that came out and visited us in the fall of 2023 and supported our field season. Currently we are raising funds to support our 2024 spring and fall field seasons. Please consider giving a tax-deductible donation today. ALL (100%) of the funds donated go to support MSBO crew and operations.

OUTREACH PROGRAMS – we are currently scheduling programs and field trips for our 2024 field season. If you are interested in scheduling your group, please email burkelakebanding@gmail.com.
