Sunday Aug. 6 HORICON MARSH FIELD TRIP

Beginning @ 6 a.m. at the Park & Ride lot at the intersection of Highway 33 and Interstate 41 (just east of Allenton). We will carpool from there.

Breeding Season at Horicon Marsh
Join Cutright Bird Club coordinator Carl Schwartz and others on a late summer field trip to Horicon Marsh. Special focus will be on finding any recent eBird rarities as well as sorting through an assortment of recently fledged ducks, rails, herons, bitterns, pelicans and terns, as well as shorebirds already returning from Arctic breeding grounds. We will be on the lookout for resident Whooping Crane and Black-necked Stilt fledges. We will canvass as many local hotspots as time and weather allow, e.g., Old Marsh Road, Main Dike Road, Ledge Road, the Auto Loop Road, Highway 49, Marsh Haven.

Some hiking is likely so wear appropriate footwear and clothing; also bring a water bottle, energy snacks and sunscreen. This trip is sponsored by the Noel J. Cutright Bird Club.

Please email trip leader at cschwartz3@wi.rr.com to let us know you plan to join us. No other registration required.
