OWBC: The Cedarburg Bog

February 12 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition: The Cedarburg Bog – Formation, Hydrology, Ecology, and Uniqueness

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER, THIS PROGRAM WILL BE VIRTUAL ONLY (not in person)

Presented by Jim Reinartz, president of the Friends of the Cedarburg Bog and former UWM Field Station director. Glaciation of the Cedarburg Bog and UWM Field Station area created pronounced topographic relief in the Bog’s basin and adjacent uplands comparable to that in the Kettle Moraine. The large size and slope of the wetland that developed in the low-lying basin results in a complex pattern of water movement responsible for a mosaic of nearly every major wetland plant community found in Wisconsin. The Cedarburg Bog is regionally unique as the last remaining large wetland with pre-settlement plant communities that were once the dominant wetland types in southeastern Wisconsin.

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.
