Subject: Kellogg Bird Sanctuary

This is a great place to go during spring migration time--a good
selection of returning migrants mingle with the tame residents,
mainly waterfowl.  There are also many birds of prey that can't be
rehabilitated, and are sectioned off in large flights.  I do
a good deal of preliminary sketching for paintings there.
Directions, for any interested:
 
 Kellogg Bird Sanctuary/Battle Creek/616-671-2510
 
      --Take 94 west to Battle Creek
      --Take the Heller Rd Exit (exit 95, to the airport), and turn
          right (north) on Hellmer Rd
      --go to the 2nd traffic light (M96 alias Dickman)
      --turn left (west) onto Dickman and go approx 8 miles (past
          the Ft Custer area) to the village of Augusta
      --turn right onto Webster Rd (by the church & Sunoco station)
      --turn left on M89 & go up the hill
      --turn right on 40th, go 1-3/4 mile to a 4-way stop
      --turn left on C Road to the Sanctuary
 
It's open daily, I believe, except Christmas, though I don't
know the hours offhand.
