Join us to look for spring migrants, including early warblers, vireos, thrushes, and orioles, and resident birds in this Important Bird Area. Learn how the Lakeshore Nature Preserve serves as a critical stopover habitat for migrating birds, and how in bad weather, Picnic Point can produce spectacular collections of fallout migrants. Bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them; Madison Audubon will also have a few pair of binoculars to loan. Co-sponsored with the Friends of Lakeshore Nature Preserve.
Meet at the Picnic Point kiosk, 2004 University Bay Drive.
