Enjoy this mixed habitat sanctuary and look for spring migrants including along a section of the Saco River. This sanctuary is a lovely oasis and includes a riparian flood plain, sandbars and wetlands which attract a variety of birds. The trails are flat but hiking shoes or rubber boots might be helpful depending upon trail conditions. Meet at the entrance on Rte. 302.

World Migratory Bird Day is officially coming up on May 12th, but Fond du Lac is getting an early start on the celebration. 

Fond du Lac was named one of Wisconsin’s “Bird Cities” in 2012, and Laura DeGolier says “we have to put on a celebration that reminds people of the value of birds, encourage people to plant bird habitat…and we do it at this time of the year, because that’s when the birds are moving.”

On Saturday the 12th May, from 9am to 12am you will have the opportunity to look for a range of migratory birds during a guided birdwatching tour led by a NABU expert who will give you all the information about the species currently staying in Bonn. 

To participate, please register with Andreas Kepper (0228253869)

SATURDAY, May 12

8:00 AM - NOON: BIRDWATCHING CAR CARAVAN

Birds know no borders. Many of the species that sing to us all summer have winter homes farther south in Central or South America. Some birds just pass through, and some settle in for the summer. Whatever their destination, May is a time of year where we can see many species in our parks.  World Migratory Bird Day is a celebration of the diversity of birds that live among us, and a reminder of our ability to protect these animals as they travel extraordinary distances each year.

We're teaming up with The Nature Conservancy in Utah to host a celebration of World Migratory Bird Day! In addition to a guided birding tour, Migratory Bird Day at the preserve will include stations where you can learn about mammals, native fish and aquatic insects. All events are free. The birding tour will begin at 8 a.m., and all other activities will begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon. All events will begin at the Kane Creek entrance to the preserve, 934 W. Kane Creek Boulevard, in Moab. Dogs and other pets are not permitted on the preserve.
