Woodcock Wander
at Mequon Nature Preserve
Join local bird expert, Dan Panetti, on an evening stroll in search of the Woodcock — a secretive species most easily found when engaged in wild aerial courtship displays. Although the Woodcock technically is a “shorebird”, they typically are found in woodlands, forest openings, and ephemeral ponds. The diverse habitats of the Mequon Nature Preserve make this an ideal location for observing Woodcocks. The outing will start around dusk at 6:30 PM with an informational talk about Woodcocks followed by a hike in and around the Preserve listening for the “peent” call of the male as he corkscrews from on high to the ground in his distinctive courtship display. A rain date of April 21 is set in case the weather on April 19 is unsuitable for both people and Woodcocks!
This program is full.

Bird Banding Demonstration
Observe and learn about bird banding with Master Bander Jana Gedymin. Bird banding is an important research technique that helps scientists study the health, longevity and population dynamics of wild birds. It involves humanely capturing birds, placing a lightweight “bracelet” with a unique number ID on their leg, documenting observations and taking biometric measurements.
Drop in any time between 7:00 am and 10:00 am.
All ages welcome (Children under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult)

Raptors in Urban Environments
The Adaptation to and Proliferation of Raptors in Urban Environments in Milwaukee and Elsewhere: What’s Happening??? by Dr. Bill Stout
This program is being presented by the Noel J. Cutright Bird Club and the Riveredge Nature Center. Dr. Bill Stout will share decades of research on nearly every aspect of urban Cooper’s Hawks and other raptors which have relatively recently learned how to not only adapt to and survive living in urban settings but more significantly how to thrive in densely populated cities like Milwaukee. Dr. Stout has conducted research on hawks and owls over many decades with numerous publications of his work with raptors, especially Cooper’s Hawks — a species deemed “threatened” by the Wisconsin DNR in 1979. Be prepared for a fascinating narrative about how and why the Cooper’s Hawk rebounded and how it is that other raptors have taken to living in heavily populated urban environments.
Raptors banded by Dr. Stout in Southeast Wisconsin: 2139 Red-tailed Hawks, 691 Great Horned Owls, 1849 Cooper’s Hawks, 72 Ospreys, and more!
This free program will be available both in-person and virtually on Zoom. The in-person event will be located at the Riveredge Barn (park in the main visitor center lot).
