Raptors in Urban Environments
The Adaptation to and Proliferation of Raptors in Urban Environments in Milwaukee and Elsewhere: What’s Happening??? by Dr. Bill Stout
This program is being presented by the Noel J. Cutright Bird Club and the Riveredge Nature Center. Dr. Bill Stout will share decades of research on nearly every aspect of urban Cooper’s Hawks and other raptors which have relatively recently learned how to not only adapt to and survive living in urban settings but more significantly how to thrive in densely populated cities like Milwaukee. Dr. Stout has conducted research on hawks and owls over many decades with numerous publications of his work with raptors, especially Cooper’s Hawks — a species deemed “threatened” by the Wisconsin DNR in 1979. Be prepared for a fascinating narrative about how and why the Cooper’s Hawk rebounded and how it is that other raptors have taken to living in heavily populated urban environments.
Raptors banded by Dr. Stout in Southeast Wisconsin: 2139 Red-tailed Hawks, 691 Great Horned Owls, 1849 Cooper’s Hawks, 72 Ospreys, and more!
This free program will be available both in-person and virtually on Zoom. The in-person event will be located at the Riveredge Barn (park in the main visitor center lot).

The Soil Underfoot
with Mary Ann Ihm
Besides being a non-profit education center, Wellspring has been an organic farm for 35 seasons. Mary Ann Ihm, the founder of this 40-year-old organization, has had her fingers in the soil for over 45 years. Sometimes called “the Compost Queen”, she loves to help people learn how to build and enhance the soil. To her, soil is a living community with nutrients that nourish growing plants. Wellspring is a neighbor of Riveredge, just across the river to the north and has partnered with us in the Growing Green program this year.
