Meetings are held at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month at Riveredge Nature Center. Pre-Meeting Bird Hikes: At 6 p.m. from May through September Mary Holleback, RNC’s adult programs manager, leads a hike across a variety of habitats preceding the program.

Sadie O’Dell is the lead biologist for Horicon Marsh, Fox River, Green Bay and Gravel Island National Wildlife Refuges. Most of us know quite a bit about Horicon, but now we will get to learn from her about the Green Bay and Gravel Island refuges, which were preserved over 100 years ago as breeding grounds for water birds. Today these refuge islands still protect critical habitat for native birds and endangered species in the Great Lakes Basin. O’Dell will discuss the biological, ecological and cultural value of the islands, current research projects, and future management plans for Plum and Pilot Islands.

The Riveredge Bird Club held its first meeting in March 1986 so this year we will celebrate our 33rd anniversary. The club, renamed in honor of its founder in 2014, brings together those who enjoy observing and learning more about birds and sharing these interests with others.
All activities are free and open to the public. Attend a meeting to become a member and receive our bimonthly e- newsletter, The Timberdoodle News, edited by Dani Baumann, who welcomes contributions.
