Golden Eagle Field Trip
Saturday February 12, 2011

From Dan Jackson:Results of the Golden Eagle Survey are below. Also note that the National Eagle Center is running a Golden Eagle Seminar / Field Trip on Saturday, Feb 12 at 1:00 PM. Rather than running our own separately, it would make sense to join Scott Mehus on this trip. He is much more familiar with where the birds are hanging out and we will see MANY Golden Eagles by joining him.
To take part in this event, I would suggest that we leave La Crosse at 11:30. This will allows us to get there in plenty of time for the program and field trip. I will find out from Scott when this field trip will end so that interested people can plan.
Thanks,

Subject: 2011 Golden Eagle Survey RESULTSGolden Eagle Spotters,
This year’s Golden Eagle Survey was a great success. More than 100 people volunteered their time and efforts looking for golden eagles, driving almost 3,000 miles throughout the bluff lands on Saturday, January 15th. Together you saw 81 golden eagles, 58 of which were identified as non-immature, or adult golden eagles. Most of the goldens were seen in Wisconsin (65 total – 53 of them in Buffalo County), but 16 golden eagles were seen in the Minnesota. (Note: There were 16 Minnesota survey areas, compared to 26 areas reporting from Wisconsin so far.)

La Crosse Area Christmas Bird Count - Saturday, December 16, 2023

-
The 2023 La Crosse Area Christmas Bird Count will abe held on Saturday, December 16, 2023. For this event, we will try to count as many birds as possible in a 15 mile diameter "Count Circle" that is centered on the La Crosse County Courthouse in downtown La Crosse. The circle will be divided into pre-defined sections and count teams will head out early to cover their section. We will also use the help of feeder counters - people who live and maintain a bird feeder within that count circle to count the birds that visit their yard. If you would like to help, please check out the Christmas Bird Count page of the Coulee Region Audubon Society website at: http://www.couleeaudubon.org/html/cbc.html New participants are welcome! Thanks, Dan Jackson, Compiler
