Late Winter Birds - Aaron Stutz

The location of this trip will depend on the weather. Given warm weather, we will bird parts of Dane and Columbia counties searching for waterfowl, Snow Buntings, Lapland Longspurs and other lingering winter birds. If there is no open water in the area, we will visit Sauk City and watch eagles and visit Devil’s Lake to search for Townsend’s Solitaires. If we visit Devil’s Lake State Park, then field trip participants that drive will need a state park sticker.

Meet to carpool and leave at 7:00 a.m. in the parking lot of the former Copps supermarket at the intersection of Allen Boulevard and Century Ave. (Hwy M) in Middleton. Dress warmly as we will walk some and it is likely to be cold. Bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you have one. The trip will last 3-4 hours.
