Wyalusing Treasures @ Wyalusing State Park, Wisconsin

Just four hours from Chicago’s north suburbs, Wyalusing State Park at the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers is one of Wisconsin’s top birding spots as well as one of its most picturesque. The forests and waters provide abundant habitat for a wide variety of species, with potential lingering migrants as well as summer residents like Cerulean, Prothonotary and Yellow-Throated Warblers. We’ll meet about halfway there on Friday morning to bird at a spot in Janesville, spend Saturday at Wyalusing with a local guide who knows the park well, and bird Sunday at another spot along the Mississippi before heading home.

Our motel is small (just 8 rooms) so we have limited capacity and are reserving participation to Lake/Cook members. You can also camp at Wyalusing or find your own accommodations. Email Kerry Swift (swift.kerry@gmail.com) for details.

Note: Please let Kerry know if you have a canoe or kayak. If so, there may be an option to bird the river where it’s easiest to see Prothonotary Warblers.
