The University of Michigan-Dearborn is located on property that was once the home of Henry Ford. Ford was not only an industrial leader, but a great nature and bird lover -- he was instrumental in convincing Congress to pass the Migratory Bird Treaty in 1913. Throughout Ford's estate, Fair Lane, there are carvings and other representations of birds. The bird in our logo is taken from the copper ventilator covers in the powerhouse at Fair Lane. Our banding station was formerly headquartered in Fair Lane's former Pony Barn, shown at right. Now we are housed in the brand new Environmental Interpretive Center. Our logo reflects the historical nature of our location. |
"Zugunruhe" is a
German term used by bird researchers studying bird migration. It
means "migratory restlessness," describing the biological urge birds develop
which prompts them to migrate.
