Support my team in the Great Wisconsin Birdathon!
I am looking forward to participating in Great Wisconsin Birdathon 2023 benefiting Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin. Please help me support their important mission by making a donation to my page or pledging per bird seen during my campaign. Every gift helps me reach my goal of $500. No gift is too small.
I am also a member of a non-profit organization, Chippewa County Land Conservancy. Our mission is to help preserve lands that have the potential to be ideal habitat for birds and other wildlife. 50% of the funds raised will come back to this local organization! I really appreciate your support. Thank you!

While biking this week solo deep in the Chippewa River basin, a silent barred owl peered at eye level, a large bird above. Merlin simultaneously recorded a Red-shouldered Hawk! New to the list while birding Door County is the Philadelphia Vireo, a secretive bird of brushy, dense vegetation and the blue gray gnatcatcher. Close to home in a protected wetland was the Willow Flycatcher, noted for its distinctive call, "Phitzbew!".
Thank you for your generous support to protect birds!

The Dickcissel
An unexpected treat today while biking to Jim Falls was the distinct call of the Dickcissel, a grassland species. I love this bird's raspy call, "dickcissel cissel cissel cissel". This long distance migrant often perches on high wires or plants and is not shy about making it's call heard!

Looking for additional species has gotten me into wetlands, fields and forests. An unexpected and exciting observation was from my bedroom window at midnight - the repeated call of the Eastern whip-poor-will.
On wish list to observe: Yellow billed cuckoo, Red headed woodpecker!
