Birds and Beers anyone???

Dates and Times pending




Many other regional birding groups, such as the Twin Cities, Madison and the Green Bay area have established more informal gatherings for birders to meet and share stories. The venue changes from meeting to meeting and they are somewhat unscheduled. Sometimes birding might be part of the agenda beforehand, other times it’s just a chance to meet others who share your interest. For example, when a Great Grey Owl decided to hang out on the grounds of the Capitol Brewery in Madison last year, there was a somewhat spontaneous Birds and Beers scheduled. 
We’d like to try and create our own “Birds and Beers,” and Mark Webster and Gwyn Calvetti have volunteered to try and kickstart it. We thought Pearl Street Brewery might be a great place to start, supporting a local microbrewery that just happens to be close to wetlands trails. “Warblers and Wine” could be an option, too. Watch the facebook page and email announcements for the first event, probably sometime in July.

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.

Wyalusing Field Trip - May 14, 2023 at 6:00 AM

-
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.
