Saturday Birding Sit
press release: Autumn is a perfect season to be outside as migrating birds fill the air. The number of different species that pass through even a small area can be remarkable! Join us for a “sit,” where we’ll remain in one area while looking and listening for any birds who might be nearby. Co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Council of the Blind & Visually Impaired, this trip is designed to be intentionally inclusive and accessible to birders of all skill levels as part of our celebration of Birdability Week 2022!
We’ll be birding all day, so feel free to stop by anytime between 7AM and 4PM and stay for as long as you’d like! We’ll be near the Rainbow Shelter with light refreshments and plenty of birdy fun.
Fall weather can be unpredictable, so please do come prepared with layers; we may be in areas with insects and pokey plants. Feel free to bring a comfy camping chair or blanket to sit upon; you are also welcome to bring binoculars, cameras, and/or field guides.
Features:
- Beginning birders and families are welcome!
