Let’s celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (May 10) with a birding experience at the Forest Exploration Center on Saturday, May 17! Our guide will be life-long birder Mark McNally, Professor Emeritus in the Microbiology and Immunology Department at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Wauwatosa has achieved “High Flyer” Bird City status due to its importance along the Mississippi Flyway, a migratory route that billions of birds travel each spring to their breeding grounds. The Forest Exploration Center provides 67 acres of critical habitat to over 158 observed bird species throughout the year. Come stroll along the one-mile accessible nature trail to discover spring migrants and a few of our favorite year-round residents who depend on this urban woodland to feed, rest, and nest. Some migrants we hope to see or hear include Black and White Warblers, Yellow Rumped Warblers, Brown Creepers, and maybe a Great Horned Owl!
You will receive an email confirming your registration. Please make sure to complete the registration form and look for the confirmation email. Registration is limited to 15 for an optimal birding experience.
