2025 Poynette Christmas Bird Count

2025 Poynette Christmas Bird Count

Every Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is different. We enjoy the counts because you never know what observations you will have: your favorite winter bird, high numbers of a common bird, a bird that is out of place in late December, or even a rare bird.

While most of Wisconsin's breeding birds are stuffing their beaks at bird feeders or soaking up their last month(s) on their winter range, one of Wisconsin's earliest breeding birds, Great Horned Owls, are already in full mating season swing.
