Sunday, June 20, 2010 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Have you ever wanted to see the Peregrine Falcons in Mount Clemens, but were unsure of where to look for them? Since 2005, Hathor has nested on the Macomb County Building. Horus was her mate from 2005 - 2007 and Nick from 2008 to present. Hathor has produced ten young, including the three that are currently being raised on the NE corner of the building, Martha, Packard and Harwell. Join Chris Becher, SE Michigan Peregrine Falcon Coordinator with the Department of Natural Resources and Barb Baldinger, DNR Volunteer to observe this season’s family of Peregrine Falcons from the gazebo and park across the Clinton River from the nest site. If you want to bring a lunch, there are a couple of picnic tables and several benches. Enter the parking lot from First Street between Crocker Blvd. and Dickinson Street (Note: On the west side of the river Crocker Blvd. is called Cass Ave. and Dickinson Street is called Market Street). Parking meters are 25 cents for 20 minutes. Here's a link to an interactive map of the location: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/9-AEA5 Updated 6/14/2010. 24. Native Planting Workday at Algonac State Park
