Learn About Urban Coyotes, Count Birds During Free Events This Weekend

Forget about the Super Bowl! Instead, get to know the creatures of Oakland County at the Johnson Nature Center in Bloomfield Township.

It's Super Bowl weekend, but are you wondering what you can do that won't (most likely) involve pigskin and requires more than a 30-second attention span? How about getting in touch with nature at the Johnson Nature Center in Bloomfield Township?
