A Citizen Science Perspective on the Bald Eagle Nest Watch Project in Southeast Wisconsin by Beth Berger Martin
Hybrid live and Zoom program at Lac Lawrann Conservancy
In coordination with the Wisconsin DNR, the Badgerland Bird Alliance (formerly Madison Audubon) launched the Bald Eagle Nest Watch (BENW) project in 2018 with the goal of monitoring and better understanding how Bald Eagle populations are doing in Wisconsin. It has grown to include more than 100 nests in 36 counties! While Bald Eagles have made a remarkable recovery in Wisconsin, they continue to face significant threats. BENW is looking for more volunteers to assist in finding and monitoring nests. Volunteers are especially needed in Ozaukee and Washington Counties. Beth Berger Martin (and her husband Ken) have been actively looking for and monitoring Bald Eagle nests since 1917. She is passionate about raptors and works as a raptor volunteer at the Schlitz Audubon Center in Brown Deer.
