Michigan Avian Experience will take you on an electronic birding tour focusing on the bird species that benefit from your hard work. From grasslands to northern forests and a few wetlands and beaches in between. We will dive into the population changes of North America’s small falcons, learn a few field LBJ calls, and celebrate the most successful piping plover nesting year to date. Some of our feathered friends will stop by to model the seven S’s of bird identification helping you to find the hidden bird life at your site.

Francie's Dad once asked her what she wanted to do with her life. Be happy was her response. Little did he know at the time she was to embark on over a 20-year journey that would take her to 35 different states and 2 countries teaching with birds of prey. With a degree from Northern Michigan University and as a Certified Interpretative Guide from the National Association of Interpretation, Francie is specifically trained in theory and practice of interpretation and environmental education. She has presented at national and international conferences, teacher training workshops, developed environmental conservation curriculum and had loads of fun. As Executive Director of Michigan Avian Experience, she continues to share her work with others.
