On a cool Sunday morning this week in the FEC I saw some birds new to my list for the Songbird Squad: Eastern Wood-Pewee, Red-eyed Vireo, Wood Thrush, and Northern Yellow Warbler. It's been a pleasure being on Songbird Squad!

I took a sunny, late afternoon walk at FEC yesterday - so nice to see all the signs of spring!
I noticed many of our common bird species, including:
Mallard, American Robin (of course!), Redwing Blackbird, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Hairy Woodpecker, Mourning Dove, and my favorite, the Great Horned Owl.

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 $1.4 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 declining songbirds, 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!
