My Mission
This is a great opportunity to support important bird conservation work here in Wisconsin. Make us earn your support by pledging an amount per species -- a buck a bird, or half-a-buck-a-bird would be great! We are heading out early, so we'll be lucky to find our goal of 80 species.
Thank you!

On Friday, April 29, our five team members covered the 92 mile-long Lower Wisconsin Riverway. Up river, Dan found 180 American White Pelicans, a Cattle Egret (see photo), Sedge Wren, and 54 other birds. Mid-river, Barb found a Virginia Rail, Blue-Headed Vireo, Henslow's Sparrow, and plenty of both shorebirds and lingering waterfowl, and ended the day with three dueling whippoorwills at Cassell Prairie. Jeb found 25 species from his desk, in sight of the river, adding purple finch and vesper sparrow to the list. MIke & Arlyne found five warblers, an Osprey, hermit thrush, and 56 other birds down river, including Wyalusing. Our cold, wet team found 96 species altogether.

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 $1.2 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, monitoring Kirtland's Warbler nests, 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, 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!
