The Great Wisconsin Birdathon at Holy Wisdom Monastery
2022 Birdathon
Wrens of Wisdom Prairie flocked together and soared to great heights on Saturday, May 7, 2022. What a beautiful day to be out birding! We had more than 50 birders join us between sunrise and sunset, and observed 56 species of birds. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed. Click on photos above to enlarge.
The Great Wisconsin Birdathon is Wisconsin’s largest fundraiser for bird conservation. Each year bird enthusiasts from across the state form teams with the goal of finding as many unique bird species as possible while raising important funds for bird conservation.
Donate to support bird conservation
It isn’t too late to make a donation to support Wrens of Wisdom Prairie. All of the dollars raised will directly support bird conservation. Half of the funds raised will stay at Holy Wisdom Monastery and be used to create and maintain bird habitat here, with the remaining funds going to the Natural Resources Foundation.
