Join us for our Birdathon outing!

When: Saturday, May 18th, 5:30 am – 5:30 pm (join for any or all of it!)

Where: Dane County, WI

Cost: Free!

The Great Wisconsin Birdathon is back and our Wayfarers team, the Millennial Falcons, is returning for its eighth year! Join us on Saturday, May 18th for a fun-filled day of birding for a good cause! Our goal is to find some of our favorite birds, get outside to some amazing Dane County birding areas, and raise $1,234 to protect the birds of the galaxy! 

Where are we heading? Here’s a rough plan of our day – meet up with us for any or all of it! 

5:30 am - 7 am: Early birds at Picnic Point (Lakeshore Nature Preserve)

7:30 am - 9 am: UW Arboretum

9:30 am - 11 am: Nine Springs

11:30 am - 12:30 pm: Picnic Lunch (bring your own) at Jenni and Kyle Preserve

1 pm - 3 pm: Pheasant Branch Conservancy

3:30 pm - 4 pm: Vienna Pothole Wildlife Area/ County V Ponds

4:30 pm: End the day at Lone Girl Brewing in Waunakee

RSVP: RSVP on the Sign Up Genius by May 14th if you’d like to bird with us, explore some beautiful Wisco destinations, and enjoy bird fun with friends! Join for as much as you like—the morning, the afternoon, or the whole day’s events. No birding experience needed! We’ll have some extra binoculars to share. Carpooling options will be coordinated for those interested. More specific details will be sent closer to the outing. 

Donate: Support the Millennial Falcons Birdathon Team – our goal is to raise $1,234 to protect the birds of the galaxy! Donations of any amount are appreciated, and support the highest priority conservation needs for Wisconsin’s birds!

Birds need our help! North America has lost over 3 billion birds since the 1970s, but we can help #BringBirdsBack. By donating to our team, you're supporting the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin's Bird Protection Fund, which funds Wisconsin's highest priority bird conservation projects.

Your support would mean a lot to our team. Birds have made an incredible difference in our lives and we want to protect them. Every dollar counts when it comes to helping our birds, so no donation is too small. Thank you for considering!
