MIWP Annual Bird Hike

June 03, 2022/ MIWP

A few hardy souls turned out for our annual bird hike on a rainy Memorial Weekend Saturday morning. We were hoping for one of those misty mornings when you get to see birds in ways you might not see them otherwise, but mist turned to rain and we got to see one noisy robin…

We had a nice visit and those of us new to birding learned a few things from Toria and Peter, but we soon decided that it would be pretty hopeless to continue.

Looking forward to the two summer events at the museum that feature birds:

Breeding Birds of the Apostle Islands, Jun 29, 2022, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Uncommon Facts about Madeline Island’s Common Birds, Jul 27, 2022, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

The Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve is a non-profit land trust dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural areas on Madeline Island. The nature preserve lands are open to the public for hiking, skiing, berry-picking and hunting. MIWP is committed to education and advocacy — each summer we sponsor field trips and evening programs. Madeline Island is adjacent to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on the South Shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
