RAPTORS AND THE EXPERIENCES OF A HAWK COUNTER (Hike @ 6pm, Program @ 7pm)
Seth Cutright has a passion for raptors,
and for the past few migratory seasons he
has pursued this passion by being the
official hawk counter at some of the
leading hawk migration sites in the
eastern U.S. He recounts some of these
experiences and shares his raptor photos.

IDENTIFYING HAWKS AT A WISCONSIN HAWK WATCH AND WHAT WE LEARN BY CONDUCTING THESE COUNTS
Hike: 6pm, Program: 7-8:30pm
So, hawks are identified (if possible) and counted, but then what? Noel Cutright
provides some hints on raptor identification and what the resulting hawk
count data mean for raptor conservation. Fee: Free (Donations Appreciated)
SEPTEMBER 7, 2010
2nd ANNUAL BIRD IDENTIFICATION CHALLENGE
Hike: 6pm, Program: 7-8:30pm
Test your Wisconsin bird identification skills at this action packed power point program. Learn, from lively discussion, techniques other birders use to tell hard-to-identify species apart. Bring a bird book if you think you'll need one. Fee: Free
This PowerPoint program follows in the tradition of the October 2009 meeting and
encourages discussion on how to identify some of Wisconsin’s birds.
December, Dawn to Dusk
(Date to be determined. Come for all or part of the day)
Looking for a new holiday tradition? Why not spend a wonderful winter day with fellow birders counting our fine feathered friends. There are two ways to participate in the count. You can be a field or feeder counter. All counters are invited to join us back at the barn to compile data, swap stories and enjoy a potluck dinner. For more information contact Mary H. at the Center.

All activities are free and open to the public. Attend a meeting or field trip to become a member and receive the bimonthly newsletter.
