Donate to the Atlas
The 2nd Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas is seeking additional financial support to complete publication of this 600+ page book. Since 2015, a successful fundraising campaign called "Sponsor-a-Species, has generated more than $250,000 in support of data collection! There now will be 257 species accounts, including four final additions, creating opportunities for you to be included as a sponsor -- or perhaps to be recognized in support of an additional species -- in both the printed book and on the Atlas web site.
These are the opportunities, highlighted by the recent amazing discovery of a nesting Kelp Gull, normally found only in the Southern Hemisphere!
• Kelp Gull $5,000
• Mallard x American Black Duck (hybrid) $1,000
• Sandhill x Whooping Crane (hybrid) $1,000
• Golden-winged x Blue-winged Warbler (hybrid) $1,000

Also, take an opportunity to view all of our current species sponsors.
Major Donors
As the largest bird survey in our state's history, a great deal of field work is being put forth by citizen scientists and the in-kind efforts of agencies and organizations. With the help of our major donors we can implement the coordination, communication, and targeted field survey work needed to sustain these valuable efforts. Thank you!
