The directions that were not posted on the birders bulletin board
were indeed the best:

     Take Plymouth Rd. E-NE out of AA.  One block after the light
     at Huron Parkway, turn left onto Prairie.  Unfortunately,
     there is currently no road sign visible from Plymouth for
     Prairie.  Continue N on Prairie for 0.4 miles.  The Thurston
     Nature Center is on the right-hand side of the road, with a
     big sign identifying it as such and there is lots of adequate
     parking, also on the right-hand side of the road.  
     
     If you miss the left turn onto Prairie, your next left is 
     Georgetown(which does have a sign visible from Plymouth),
     which in 0.3 miles heading N takes you to Yorktown.  Turn 
     left on Yorktown and park along the street. There is less
     parking then along Prairie.  A parking lot on the right, 
     which is signed as private property of some athletic club
     (sorry, I forget the name) might currently be an OK place
     to park, as it appears the club is not yet open for the summer.

I hope this helps.
