Wyalusing Field Trip

Sunday, May 18, 2014


6:30 am - Noon



From Dan Jackson:On Sunday, May 18th, the Coulee Region Audubon Society will host a birding field trip to Wyalusing State Park. We will meet on the entrance road at 6:30 AM and will bird until around noon. This is one of the best birding locations in Wisconsin. Local specialties include: Cerulean, Yellow-Throated, Kentucky, and Prothonotary Warblers, Cuckoos, Henslow's Sparrow, Acadian Flycatcher, Scarlet Tanager, Wood Thrush, Louisiana Waterthrush, and many others. There is a strong probability that late migrants will still be coming through which means that we can and will see many other species of sparrows, thrushes, warblers and other great birds. For those interested in carpooling, please e-mail Scott Puchalski at obsidianblur@gmail.com.
This trip is a Wisconsin Birdathon event. The Coulee Birders team (currently Dan Jackson & Scott Puchalski) will be working hard to see as many species as possible for the birdathon. Participants are encouraged to join the team and help raise money for the Wisconsin bird conservation projects. If field trip participants don’t join the team, a donation in support of our efforts would be appreciated.

Dan Jackson will lead a field trip at the Wyalusing State Park on Sunday, May 14th from 6:00 AM until about 11:30 AM. This trip is free and open to the public. We meet on the entrance road before the gate house and then bird throughout the park by car caravan. Car pooling is encouraged and we will stop at the gate house parking lot to let people buy park passes and consolidate. This is the most exciting field trip of the season with lots of park specialties. This year's date should be very close to the peak of the warbler migration.

Myrick and Hixon Forest Bird Walks - April 25 - May 11, 2023

-
The Myrick and Hixon Forest bird walks will be held on Tuesday (Myrick) and Thursday (Hixon) mornings from April 25 - May 11, 2023. The walks start at 6:30 AM and go until about 8:30. The Myrick walks will start from the base of the Rabbit trail near the Myrick Park Center and the Hixon walks start from the parking lot at the end of Milson Court. Due to severe flooding, it is likely that we will not be able to walk the marsh trails for the Myrick walks (at least for the first 2 weeks). We will adjust if needed by walking along the edge of the marsh and heading into the Oak Grove Cemetery (just west of Myrick Park). These walks are free and open to the public and will be led by Dan Jackson and Pat & Bobbie Wilson.
