La Crosse 2007 Christmas Bird Count - A Summary

Image
Saturday, December 15, 2007 Pre-dawn until Dusk and Beyond There were 57 species (7,070 total birds) found on the count day this year. Unusual species included a Peregrine Falcon, a Carolina Wren and the first ever Townsend's Solitaire. The unusual pattern of American Robin numbers that began around 1991 pretty much continues with only 94 found this year. Odd numbered years have had few if any Robins while over 100 and sometimes three times that amount have been seen in the even numbered years. However, this was the most Robins found yet in an odd numbered year.Thanks to all of you who participated! Check our CBC page for final results Be sure to join us for next year's count.

2014 Waterfowl Field Trip

2014 Waterfowl Field Trip Sunday, November 16, 2014 Begins at Noon Coulee Region Audubon will have a waterfowl field trip on Sunday, November 16th. We will start at noon from the street behind the Kwik Trip at the stop lights in La Crescent.We will head south and checkout the mudflats below the entrance to the Wildcat Landing in Brownsville and we will also stop at the refuge overlooks just south of there. This is not the date of the US Fish & Wildlife Service viewing event so it won’t be as crowded. This is a great opportunity to see thousands of Ducks, Geese and Swans.
