National Audubon's recent name decision

We are surprised and deeply disappointed in National Audubon’s decision to knowingly bear a name that causes pain and harm to members of our community. Madison Audubon will continue to pursue a name change in the coming months, in cooperation with our membership and in communication with other chapters.

2022 Christmas Bird Count Results: South-Central Wisconsin

Southern Wisconsin is full of bird enthusiast. So it’s no surprise that each year, this part of the state turns out a great set of Christmas Bird Counts. In 2022, 10 counts were done within the Madison Audubon chapter area (which encompasses 10 counties), coordinated independently and put on by excellent volunteers. Below are the results of the most recent Christmas Bird Counts in our area.
