On the Squires Club's former golf course clubhouse, photos of chimney swifts and nighthawks have replaced advertisements for Big Bertha and Callaway drivers. This is now the headquarters and library of the Western Great Lakes Bird and Bat Observatory, a small nonprofit birders’ group%u200B that purchased the land when the course closed in 2008.
