S.O.S. For Our Flying Bug Eaters: Registration is open!

This joint Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative (WBCI) Annual Meeting and Bird City Summit will feature the latest research on Chimney Swifts, Purple Martins, nighthawks, swallows, flycatchers -- and bats. The Thursday night through Saturday afternoon conference kicks off with both a Birds & Brews event and a Swift Night Out field trip.
“If you haven't yet witnessed dozens - or hundreds - of swifts going to roost in the evening, this event may be your chance,” said WBCI Chair Karen Etter Hale.

Audubon.
