The BIPOC birding Club of Wisconsin had its annual Bird Banding trip to Emmons Creek from May May 19-21, with the bird banding occurring on Sunday May 21. Many of us camped at beautiful Hartman Creek State Park Friday and Saturday nights.

Without a doubt, the highlight of this trip was the netting and banding of a male Connecticut Warbler, which was the first recorded in 49 years of banding at that station!

I was honored to be able to release that bird back into it's habitat. Below is a picture of fellow co-founder Dexter Patterson, me (holding the Connecticut Warbler), and Milwaukee coordinator Rita Flores Wiskowski

Thank you to all who are supporting this important fundraiser, your support is truly appreciated!

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!
