Grosbeaks Galore - Birds On Your Landscape!
Grosbeak's Galore - Birds On Your Landscape!
Every spring and fall, tens of millions of migrating birds sweep through the Great Lakes region and stop at a variety of sites on their way to breeding grounds as far north as Greenland, the Arctic Ocean, and wintering grounds as far south as Argentina's Tierra del Fuego. These stopover sites provide birds with critical food and shelter during migration. Loss of stopover habitats poses an ongoing threat to the health and stability of migratory bird populations in the Great Lakes region.
To help address this threat, the Wisconsin Stopover Initiative, a partnership compromised of agencies, private organizations, businesses, and individuals, are offering a one-day workshop called Grosbeak's Galore: Birds On Your Landscape Workshop on Saturday, May 31, 2014 at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in Ashland, Wisconsin.
