Birding Field Trip
at Lac Lawrann Conservancy
Lac Lawrann Conservancy is a 145 acre nature preserve contiguous with the 25 acre Royal Oaks Park. The overall property has 4.5 miles of trails crisscrossing 125 acres of upland and lowland hardwood forest, a Red Pine plantation in process of conversion into a seven acre oak-savannah habitat, the seven acre Rainbow Lake, two large ponds approximating 12 acres, eight acres of wetlands, and 10 – 12 cares of restored native grassland prairie. The overall topography typifies a Kettle Moraine landscape replete with glacial features and kettle ponds. The multi-varied habitats make for a dramatic landscape and good birds! Join us on Labor Day as we scour the Lac Lawrann property in search of both resident and migratory birds. The Lac Lawrann Conservancy is located in West Bend one mile north of State Hwy 33 on Schmidt Road.

Birding in the Kettle Moraine Field Trip
Veteran expert birder Jeff Baughman is intimately acquainted with all the rarities and specialty birds of the Northern Kettle Moraine. He also knows the Northern Kettle Moraine “like the back of his hand!” We will explore a number of Kettle Moraine hotspots like Mauthe Lake, Jersey Flats, Haushalter Lane, Spruce Lake Bog, as well as many other famous landmarks. We will be in search of multiple warbler species, flycatchers, raptors, sparrows, and waterbirds. Signature resident species will be especially targeted. Totals of 85 to 95 species have been observed in the past on this outing. Starting place is the Jersey Flats Prairie Restoration Project parking lot at 6 AM. Bring a lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. Carpooling will be encouraged.
Meet at Jersey Flats Prairie Restoration Project parking lot: 639 County Rd SS, Campbellsport, WI 53010
