OWBC: Year-round movements of Rough-legged Hawks wintering in WI

January 8 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition: Year-round movements of Rough-legged Hawks wintering in WI

The OWBC is partnering with the Southern WI Bird Alliance to offer this program. From 2021-2022, nine GPS transmitters were attached to wintering Rough-legged Hawks in Wisconsin. Many of these transmitters are still functioning and have provided multiple years of full annual cycle movements. Come learn about the year-round movements of Rough-legged Hawks wintering in the great state of Wisconsin, and how these nine birds fit into the broader Rough-legged Hawk Project that has tracked nearly 200 hawks throughout North America.

Neil Paprocki recently completed his PhD at the University of Idaho studying differential migration in birds. Neil has been a professional ornithologist for 17 years and has been working with Rough-legged Hawks for nearly 15 years.

Winter Senses Hike

January 25 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Community Rivers Program Winter Senses Hike

Join a Riveredge Educator on a wintery afternoon hike at Lime Kiln Park! This is a family-friendly hike where we look for patterns in the snow, listen to the winter ‘creak sounds’, and search for animal tracks. Depending on the weather and snow cover, this hike may include strapping on snowshoes or venturing out on your own feet. Either way, we will practice our hiking and nature identification skills while on the trails. Class size is limited and all supplies are provided. Bring your own snowshoes if you have them. No experience necessary.

Park and meet at Lime Kiln Park in Grafton (address below).

Ages 6+

This program is free for everyone with funding through the Community Rivers Program! The CRP’s mission is connecting rural and suburban communities with their watershed to inspire appreciation, educate, and enable positive land management changes.
