Great Wisconsin Birdathon Day with the Reckless Wrens


The Reckless Wrens are looking and fundraising for birds this year for the Great Wisconsin Birdathon. Our goal is to see 100 species in 24 hours, including some night birding!

The funds we raise are split between Madison Audubon and the Natural Resources Foundation's Bird Protection Fund. Donate here: https://go.dojiggy.io/wibirdathon/recklesswrens/Team

The team includes staff and volunteers from our Goose Pond Sanctuary: Mark Martin, Sue Foote-Martin, Graham Steinhauer, Jim and Kathy Shurts, JD Arnston, and our summer interns. We will search high and low for shorebirds, pelicans, owls, woodcocks, snipe, whip-poor-wills, and lots of warblers around Goose Pond, Erstad Prairie, Otsego Marsh and other southern Columbia County and northern Dane County hotspots.
