OWBC: Woodcock Wander through the Mequon Nature Preserve

April 16 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition: Woodcock Wander through the Mequon Nature Preserve

Stroll with bird expert Dan Panetti, owner of Wild Birds Ultd in Mequn, in search of the American Woodcock — a secretive species most easily found when engaged in wild aerial courtship displays. Although woodcock technically are 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 them. The outing will start at dusk with an informational talk 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. Rain date is April 18 in case previous day is unsuitable for people and woodcock.

Ages 18+ | Registration is required and space is limited.

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition: Diversified Birders

This program was rescheduled from March 12 to March 18.

Rita Flores Wiskowski, is the Milwaukee area coordinator for the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin. She is also an avid birder and citizen science enthusiast who also serves on the board of the Wisconsin Metro Audubon Society, where she has been tasked with creating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Her goal is to help to make birding safe and accessible for everyone. One of her biggest joys is to be with someone as they discover the joy and excitement of birding for the first time. Rita believes that the more voices and experiences we bring to this hobby, the better our enjoyment, the stronger our conservation efforts, and the more promising our future will be.
