OWBC: Birding at Lac Lawrann

September 4 @ 6:30 am – 11:00 am

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition Birding Field Trip at Lac Lawrann Conservancy

Lac Lawrann Conservancy is a 145 acre nature preserve contiguous with the 25 acre Royal Oaks Park. The overall property has 4.5 miles of trails crisscrossing 125 acres of upland and lowland hardwood forest, a Red Pine plantation in process of conversion into a seven acre oak-savannah habitat, the seven acre Rainbow Lake, two large ponds approximating 12 acres, eight acres of wetlands, and 10 – 12 cares of restored native grassland prairie. The overall topography typifies a Kettle Moraine landscape replete with glacial features and kettle ponds. The multi-varied habitats make for a dramatic landscape and good birds! Join us on Labor Day as we scour the Lac Lawrann property in search of both resident and migratory birds. The Lac Lawrann Conservancy is located in West Bend one mile north of State Hwy 33 on Schmidt Road.

Ages 12+ | Free

OWBC: Owl Prowl at Lac Lawrann

November 11 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Owl Prowl at Lac Lawrann Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition

Calling all owl lovers! Join veteran birders from the Ozaukee Washington Birding Coalition as we prowl the woods, swamps, and fields of Lac Lawrann Conservancy. We will be on the hunt for permanent residents like Great Horned, Barred, and Eastern-Screech Owls as well as migratory or temporary residents such as the diminutive Northern Saw-whet Owl. Show up with your fingers crossed — owls are sometimes very fickle about showing themselves! There are no guarantees when it comes to owling!!!

Details: Meet in Lac Lawrann’s main building, the Maurin Center, at 5:30pm, please go down the ramp to the left to the set of doors for a short presentation followed by an approximate 1 1/2 hour night walk. Bring binoculars, water, and a small flashlight for walking on uneven, unlit paths after dark. We will be standing in place for extended periods of time so dress warmly, e.g., a warm hat, gloves, and good warm walking shoes or boots. You may want to eat a snack or early dinner before arrival. Note: If there are strong winds, heavy precipitation, and/or single digit temperatures, this outing may be postponed. We will let you know by email in the event of postponement. This outing is not recommended for children under the age of ten. This is a no charge event offered by Lac Lawrann Conservancy in conjunction with the Ozaukee Washington Birding Coalition. Space is limited to 12 participants.

This program takes place at Lac Lawrann Conservancy. See below for their address.

This program is geared toward adults, but ages 10+ are welcome.
