Observe Birds of Prey in Flight

The Leslie Science & Nature Center (1831 Traver Road, Ann Arbor, MI) invites families to marvel at the breath-taking flight abilities of birds of prey up close and personal during the Fall Flight. This is a rare opportunity to witness the power and grace of three of these predators on Sunday, October 5 from 1:00-2:00 p.m.

During the program, families will get the chance to see three birds of prey in flight, the Peregrine Falcon, a Red-tailed Hawk and one of the two Bald Eagles who live on the site. The event will include an examination of what makes each bird's flight pattern unique as well as the elements that make them similar. The opportunity to see these majestic birds fly free and un-tethered around the LSNC grounds is a rare one so don't miss it!

Registration for all ages is $9/person or $34/family; discounted rates of $8/person or $30/family are available to LSNC Members. Because event size will be limited, preregistration is encouraged at http://www.lesliesnc.org or by calling 734-997-1553.

Huron River Trick or Treat by Canoe

Enjoy the Huron River Trick or Treat event October 16, just
don't let the pirates get your booty!

Although I have mentioned this even in my Halloween Events Round-up, it certainly sounds like a fun event for the whole family... So I thought to pass it along in greater detail.

On October 19, take your entire family on a trip down the river during the annual Huron River trick or Treat event. Starting at the Gallup Canoe Livery anytime between noon and 5:00 p.m. families can spend the afternoon enjoying the haunting fall beauty of the Huron River by canoe or kayak. As you paddle down the river families will encounter creatures, ghouls and goblins (although they don't look very scary) handing out treats and candy. Feel free to dress up in costumes or come as is, just be sure to bring a bag for your candy and keep an eye out for the swashbuckling pirates as they patrol the waters! You wouldn't want them to grab the booty you collected!

The fee for this Ann Arbor Halloween event is $22/boat, children need to be 1 for the boat-ride. Really it's no trick, but will certainly be a treat!
