The Reckless Wrens’ 13th Great Wisconsin Birdathon venture began at 5:00 PM on Friday, May 17 and ended at 4:49 PM on May 18. Considering the weather overall was cool and windy, our grand total was a very impressive 157 species, a new team record!
The annual Crane Count, coordinated by the International Crane Foundation, was held on April 12. It was a beautiful morning to count cranes and enjoy the wetland birds.
Thanks to eBird, we are able to identify changes in the species and numbers of birds observed at Goose Pond Sanctuary, Erstad Prairie, and Otsego Marsh.
