Late Fall Migrating Birds

About this event

Avid birder Chuck Henrikson leads us into the trees and onto the prairies to scan the lands & waters for birds heading south to warmer climes.

Unless otherwise noted, field trips meet at the Picnic Point entrance kiosk, 2000 University Bay Drive.

The entry point is served by Metro Bus Stop #2938 outbound and #2881 inbound. See map.wisc.edu .
