Bird City Wisconsin Rapids - Kiwanis Youth Outhdoors Day

Each year Bird City Wisconsin Rapids participates in two events to celebrate IMBD. The first event, Kiwanis Youth Outdoors Day, is held the first Saturday in June. At this event we have several booths. One features children’s crafts: for example, making pinecone bird feeders, coloring bird pictures and having them laminated into wearable buttons, coloring bird masks and more. We feature a display from the Wisconsin DNR on grassland birds and distribute brochures featuring local birding nature trails and wildlife areas. Our most popular activity has been mist netting and banding of birds that children observe and participate in.
