This fall, Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance fitted 30 migrating monarch butterflies with BlūMorpho solar transmitters at Goose Pond Sanctuary, to help researchers track their routes to wintering grounds in Mexico.

Summer 2026 bird point count results: Goose Pond, Erstad Prairie, Otsego Marsh, and Hillside Prairie

I conducted similar point counts to learn what birds can be found on these properties to reflect how management decisions have affected bird populations and how we can make informed management decisions going forward.
