FoHP July Pollinator Walk
We had a wonderful turnout for our July Thursday evening guided walk featuring UW-Madison's Elizabeth Braatz and undergrad student Violet, both with a passion for all things pollinators. A big thank you to both presenters. The Ready Prairie was looking great!!
It was so exciting to see all the birders join enthusiastic birding guide Megan Heneke on a beautiful morning in mid-May. Many people were new to the park and/or novice birders. All were treated to a morning of superb birding. Hoyt Park is a great place to bird with it’s prairies and grassy areas bordered by woodlands. There were 47 different species noted on a 2 hour guided walk. For those of you seasoned birders Megan’s ebird list for the walk is available here.
There were plenty of migrating warblers and it was a special treat to see a pair of scarlet tanagers. A big thank you to Megan for donating her time and birding knowledge to make this a very successful morning.
