The Great Wisconsin Birdathon is in full flight! Our office staff team (All About Aves) is excited to count birds on May 20 and do some good #ForTheBirds! Join in the fun by donating to our cause.

The migrating birds we love are back in Wisconsin! We share the land—and our backyards and balconies—with these weary, exhausted travelers. Migrating birds fly hundreds and thousands of miles, and it is essential to protect and create areas where they can rely on nutritious food to refuel on their long journey.

Consider making spaces near your home homey for birds too. There are a variety of ways to do this, including keeping natural shorelines, planting native plants, and setting up proper bird feeders.
