Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition Field Trip: Breeding Season at Horicon Marsh
Cutright Bird Club coordinator Carl Schwartz and others will be leading this trip to witness the breeding season and early shorebird migration at Horicon Marsh. Special focus will be on finding any recent eBird rarities as well as sorting through an assortment of recently fledged ducks, rails, herons, bitterns, pelicans, and terns, as well as shorebirds already returning from Arctic breeding grounds. We will be on the lookout for resident Whooping Crane and Black-necked Stilt fledges. We will canvass as many local hotspots as time and weather allow, e.g., Old Marsh Road, Main Dike Road, Ledge Road, the Auto Loop Road, Highway 49, Marsh Haven. Some hiking is likely so wear appropriate footwear and clothing; also bring a water bottle, energy snacks and sunscreen. This trip is sponsored by the Noel J. Cutright Bird Club.
Ages 18+ | Park and meet at 6:00 am at the Park & Ride lot at the intersection of Highway 33 and Interstate 41, just east of Allenton (address below).
