Help the Millennial Falcons protect all the galaxy's birds!

With our trusty binoculars and our powerful spotting scopes, with some hokey religion (Merlin sound identification) and some ancient weapons (our eyes and ears), we seek to find as many bird species as we can in 24 hours in southeast Wisconsin. Jedi masters and rogues, princesses and padawans will come together to protect all the birds of the galaxy.

Thank you everyone who donated to my birdathon team, the Millennial Falcons!

We had a great day on Sunday! Our first stop at Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve brought us 70 species! The warblers were really putting on a show. I got good looks at Blackburnian, magnolia, Tennessee, and Nashville warblers for the first time in my life, plus saw lots of yellow, chestnut-sided, and palm warblers.

After lunch, we headed to Vernon Marsh. Some highlights included the common gallinule (seriously, look this one up, it's wild to see it in a marsh in Wisconsin), Wilson's phalarope, and yellow-headed blackbirds.

After we split up from the planned outing, we had a few birders go out on their own to push us to 110 species!
