SUMMARY:Great Wisconsin Birdathon

Birders of all ages and experience levels are welcome\, and the 10:00am tour will be specifically geared towards families. This year\, we are also offering a birding ‘sit\, at 7:30am in which we’ll make ourselves comfy on a bench or platform overlooking Lost Lake and observe activity from that spot\, with minimal walking involved. \nCome birding on your own\nWe invite you to come explore the monastery property Saturday\, May 11th on your own\, and keep track of the birds you see and hear. Submit your list of species to Amy Alstad aalstad@holywisdommonastery.org or 608-836-1631×123. \nSupport Wrens of Wisdom Prairie by making a financial contribution\nAll of the dollars raised will directly support bird conservation.
