We’re sorry, this field trip is now full. Scroll down to join the waiting list.
This field trip was originally scheduled for April 28, and rescheduled to May 4 due to weather.
This morning trip is especially for backyard birders looking to grow their skills! Come to have your bird questions answered and get help identifying all of those small, streaky brown birds. We'll also be keeping our eyes out for any exciting spring migrants. The walk will be on even trails at a leisurely pace so bring the whole family! We will have binoculars for loan.
WHEELCHAIR USE: Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance (formerly Madison Audubon) has one electric-powered wheelchair available for anyone to use for free. You can learn more about it here, and request it in the form when you register.
Or, if you want to use a more rugged, all-terrain, outdoor wheelchair for this field trip, Access Ability Wisconsin offers them for free! To reserve a chair and trailer, visit their website.
