Sun Mar 23 1:30 "Early Migrants" at UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve with Chuck Henrikson

Join enthused bird guide Chuck Henrikson for a free fun family and kid friendly birding adventure!  All skill levels are welcome. The bays, shorelines, woodlands, marshes and prairies at UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve offer the equivalent of an interstate rest stop with food and shelter for a variety of species of birds. This means the Preserve is great place to find early returning migrant birds like Tundra Swans, Robins, Bluebirds and Sandhill Cranes. See http://tinyurl.com/MadisonFUNAdventures for Fun Facts about Birds and Migration and a Spring Bird Bingo Card for kids. See the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Facebook page and website for pictures and comments about bird sightings by Chuck Henrickson and other birders.  Learn how to use the Merlin app to help identify birds by sight and sound and log your observations on eBird!
