All are invited to attend the second in a series of three free events designed for bird-observers of all skills and abilities. Join “Everyone Can Bird: Graduation to Migration,” 9:30 – 11:30 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 21, at Woodstock Bay (15 White Birch Trail, Superior, WI 54880)
In August, baby birds begin to “graduate” into adulthood as they prepare for migration. Come join a celebration of this exciting adventure for the new adult birds.
People of all ages and ability levels are welcome to attend this accessible birding event. Move along the trails of Woodstock Bay on a guided bird hike or explore additional bird activities at your own pace. There will be an opportunity to shuttle once from Woodstock Bay to Millennium Trail to explore there.
American Sign Language interpretation is provided. Binoculars are available for use, along with a spotting scope, a wheelchair mount for binoculars and portable seating. A track chair – an all-terrain, electric-powered chair that can be used on hiking trails – along with a scooter and walkers will also be available, courtesy of indiGO.
Come and stay for the whole time or meet with and leave the group when you need. Light refreshments will be available. There will also be a wheelchair accessible portable bathroom on-site for this event. Registration is encouraged but not required.
Free bus transportation is provided at 9:20 a.m. from the University of Wisconsin-Superior parking lot 11, located behind Burger King to Woodstock Bay. Please register here to reserve your spot on the bus. We encourage participants to take the free bus to save parking spots for those who may need it.
