Beyond Backyard Birding

  • Picnic Point 2000 University Bay Drive Madison, WI, 53705 United States (map)

Registration for this trip is now closed

This morning trip is especially for backyard birders looking to grow their skills (but birders of all experience levels are welcome)! Come to have your bird questions answered and get help identifying all of those small, streaky brown birds! We'll also be keeping our eyes out for fall migrants along University Bay. The walk will be on even trails at a leisurely pace, so bring the whole family! We will have binoculars available for loan (please indicate in the RSVP that you’d like to borrow a pair).
