This three-day meeting will feature a unique blend of birding, science, and conservation-related topics.

bird monitoring programs that evaluate management and conservation work at site- or regional-level scales.
- Friday will consist of an "Ornithological Symposia" highlighting recent news and research on birds in and around
Wisconsin. Learn the latest on spruce grouse, golden-winged warblers, climate change, offshore monitoring on Lake
Michigan, savannah birds, and much more.
- Saturday's theme is "Becoming a Better Birder and Citizen Scientist" and will include hands-on eBird workshops,
bird identification talks, and volunteer training for WBCI monitoring programs, as well as an optional afternoon
