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.

Stroll with a Naturalist: Spring Migrants

Join a naturalist for a casual walk on the trails of Riveredge. Each stroll will focus on a special aspect of nature but other things of interest will be explored as well. These educational programs will give you a better understanding of the flora and fauna of the nature center. You may even learn some of the history of the land too.

Ages 18+

This program is free to attend, but donations are greatly appreciated!

Breeding Season at Horicon Marsh

August 5 @ 6:00 am – 12:00 pm

Breeding Season at Horicon Marsh Sponsored by the Cutright Bird Club and the Ozaukee-Washington Birding Coalition

Our meetup location will be the Park & Ride Lot at the intersection of Highway 33 and Interstate 41 (just east of Allenton); we will carpool from there to the greatest extent possible. We plan to watch eBird reports and visit areas around the marsh where the most activity has been reported. Potential sites include (Main Dike Road, Ledge Road, the east and/or west ends of Old Marsh Road, Highway 49, Marsh Haven and the auto loop — as time and weather allow). We expect to find a variety of shorebirds and water birds (ducks, rails, bitterns and herons), pelicans and raptors — as well as resident and early migrant passerines. There will likely be some hiking involved, and it could be warm, so you probably want to carry a water bottle and sunscreen.

Group limit: 22
