Events

The Wisconsin Society for Ornithology sponsors, co-sponsors, organizes, and attends various events throughout the year. Every spring, we host an annual Convention with awards presentations, a silent auction, field trips, and more. In the fall, the Society co-organizes the annual UnConvention—a day of bird talks and activities. For more information on a specific event, click the event below.
