Birding Resources

Schlitz Audubon has a variety of resources for birders of any skill level. These include in-person programs, educational blogs, and a selection of birding items available for purchase in our Nature Store.

Birding Programs

We have something for everyone, whether you are a new birder interested in dipping your toe into this pastime or a longtime birder looking to join a birding community or gain more knowledge! Here are the different types of birding programming we offer for adults.

Bird Club

Bird Club is a gathering with others who have a shared interest – birding! It is free to attend and birders of all skill levels are welcome. Like all of our nature clubs, it intends to provide meaningful experiences and foster a sense of community at the Center. Most months it meets on Wednesday evenings, but in the winter Bird Club gathers on Saturday mornings.

Bird Walks

Hike our trails searching for birds! All those interested in birding are invited to attend these free guided bird walks, which take place in the morning on the second Saturday of the month and more often during spring migration. This is a great opportunity for new birders to learn and practice bird identification.

Educational Programs & Workshops

Birding programs and workshops are educational experiences that focus on helping birders gain deeper knowledge on a specific topic. These programs include Birding for Beginners, Birding Exploration, and our Raptor ID Workshop, with many taking place during times of peak migration.

Field Trips

Our field trips take you to other regional birding hot spots guided by our naturalist experts. Locations include Horicon Marsh, Forest Beach Migratory Preserve, Kettle Moraine, and more. Field trips are a way to immerse yourself in a different ecosystem and learn the details of a new habitat, often seeing and hearing a variety of bird species.

To see our current offerings, use the Birding filter on our calendar.

Bird Blogs

These blogs hight species that can be seen at the Center.

BIRD PROFILES

Our Bird Profile series highlights a species that is migrating through, breeding, or is a year-round resident of Wisconsin that can be found at Schlitz Audubon or in your backyard..

BIRDS OF WISCONSIN

Birding Merchandise in our Nature Store

Visit our Nature Store to browse items that will help you become a better birder! These include field guides and the latest bird literature.
