The Washington Island Birding Festival was initially scheduled for this weekend, and other area nature organizations are trying to fill that void. The highlight for the Birding Festival is a wide variety of warblers that can be found migrating at Crossroads at Big Creek as well. Director Coggin Heeringa says that a four-year restoration project aims to make Crossroads a birding destination.

Heeringa says the outdoor trails are getting a lot of use during the “Safer at Home” era, and Crossroads still intends to host a 10k trail run in mid-June.
