The Baraboo Rangers started their day watching an osprey soaring over our area’s most popular state park lake. Bald eagles, both northern orioles and orchard orioles joined least flycatchers and kingbirds as the day opened out. Once again, we walked to Annie Randall’s former cabin where Robert Rolley began taking a series of photos that grace this page.

We birded the upland forest off Burma Road, the former Johnson Farm, and Steinke Basin before heading over to Riverland Conservancy’s Merrimac Preserve. At that point, the team split up to cover more territory. Our day ended with ninety-two species tallied as the sun set into deep dusk. Big thanks to our supporters and participants who came through once again for our avian friends.

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!
