Field Trips

WSO sponsors a number of field trips throughout the year. Members of WSO and non-members can attend. The trips are led by some of the top birders in Wisconsin and is a good opportunity to see some the broad range of Wisconsin birds.

Dual Dates for Dane/Columbia Ponds, Harrington Beach State Park – Hawk Watch
Two field trips this year have two dates listed. Our intent here is to try and optimize our birding during these migration periods. The 1st date listed is the normal scheduled date, but if it is determined that the 2nd date may be better, we will notify participants via the WSO web site (wsobirds.org) and Wisbirdn Listserv. So please check these services prior to the 1st date listed.
