Dear fellow flock of birders,

This past week has seen some days of great south winds. Many migrating birds jump on these winds to reduce the effort it takes to migrate all the way to Wisconsin, Dane County and the Arboretum. The number of different species seen by birders has increased significantly this past week. In warblers alone there have been 27 species reported in March, April and these first few days in May.

 

Be part of the incredible journey of migration. Inspire hope and bridge international boundaries. Become a Journey North volunteer and be a voice for migratory birds. As bird numbers are plummeting, your voice is needed more than ever.

Through open participation, data collection, and awareness building, Journey North works to secure a healthier, more sustainable future for migratory birds by engaging the public in the collective effort to document seasonal migration.

Dear fellow flock of birders,

Bird migration is beginning to pick up in two main areas; the arrival of more and varied shorebirds and the arrival of more species of warblers. Both of these categories are Dane County-wide species.

New shorebirds include Black-necked Stilt, Dunlin, Wilson's Phalarope, Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, American Golden Plover, Marbled Godwit, Long-billed Dowitcher and Willet.
