BCMCF Spirit Week
WINTER FUN IN MICHIGAN
If you want to take winter fun to the next level, then you
need to bundle up and head to Zehnder’s in Frankenmuth,
Michigan. Zehnder’s is host to one of the biggest snow and
ice sculpting events in North America. This years event kicks
off on January 22nd and runs through January 27th. If you
can’t make it that week, no worries, the sculptures are up
until they melt! The sculptures are made by some of the
worlds best ice and snow carvers. They also host the
National Collegiate Ice Carving Championship and High
School Snow Sculpting Competition. There is something for
the whole family, as long as you can handle the cold. During
the event, attendees can enjoy a warming tent, fireworks, a
petting zoo, children’s activities and much more!
www.zehnders.com
Watching the carvers in action, is really
captivating. They use all kinds of
gadgets to carve their masterpieces;
saws, chisels, ice tongs, jigs and
chippers. They can even be seen using
random items like brooms, chainsaws,
spoons and blow dryers. They will do
whatever it takes to bring their
sculptures to life.
Michigan Bird Watching January first marks the beginning of bird watching season! This is day one for all the people that like to count birds. The goal is to see how many birds you can see in a whole year. Some people keep a life list and just hope to add a new bird or “Lifer” onto their list. There are others that do what is called “A Big Year” which means spending a whole year trying to see more birds that anyone else. Michigan has some super cool birds. Every January, many people flock to the thumb area to see the Snowy Owls. The owls can be seen sitting on top of telephone poles. Red Polls, Snow Buntings and Horned Larks are a few more winter favorites, along with a wide variety of water fowl. Once Spring rolls in, Michigan has a large variety of colorful warblers that grace the branches of our trees. The Kirtland Warbler, which is quite rare, draws crowds to Michigan from around the country. Tawas, Michigan holds a great Migratory Bird Festival in May; this is fun for the whole family and a great way to get a close look at hundreds of warblers and other species. Fall is a great time to see raptors but no matter which bird you seek, websites, such as ebird.org, can help you locate just about any bird that you wish to see. So on that note, happy birding and spot something rare!
