We had 21 folks join for the Millennial Falcons Birdathon on Saturday, May 6th, with early birders braving the rain to find early birds (warblers and more) at Baxter’s Hollow. We spotted more migratory birds and were serenaded by a Louisiana Waterthrush at Parfrey’s Glen as we explored the lush canyon on our quest for birds, and we found American Goldfinches galore during a quick stop at Roznos Meadow on the Ice Age Trail. The wind and rain didn’t keep us down at Devil’s Lake – we even used the Force to manifest a couple of Loons and witnessed an epic Osprey vs. Bald Eagle battle in the sky. After a well-earned drink at Tumbled Rock Brewery, the Falcons parted ways…but continued to find even more birds to meet our species goal, with success at Nine Springs, Lakeshore Nature Preserve, and other spots in Madison. At the end of the day, we met our goal of finding some of our favorite birds (102 species!), spending time outside at some beautiful Wisconsin destinations, and raising funds to protect the birds of the galaxy! 💫

Your Donation Makes a Difference For Birds

Donations made to the Great Wisconsin Birdathon support the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin’s Bird Protection Fund, which has given out over $1.3 million towards Wisconsin’s highest priority bird conservation projects since its inception in 2009.

Whether it's creating Piping Plover habitat, rearing Whooping Crane chicks, spreading awareness about Connecticut Warblers, supporting community initiatives for bird-friendly neighborhoods, engaging new and underrepresented voices in the birding community, building impactful collaborations to protect Wisconsin's Important Bird Areas, or protecting our neotropical migrants on their long migratory journeys to Central America... the Bird Protection Fund is there to help.

Your donations make this work possible. Thank you for supporting on-the-ground conservation and being there #ForTheBirds!
