Vicki will be presenting practical hints on simple ways to make your yard bird-friendly, how you can provide food for birds during all seasons and other ways to help birds. She will explain some of the research findings of the Birds Without Borders project and how you can use this information to make your yard a bird haven.
Vicki completed her graduate studies at UW-Milwaukee and conducted research on birds at the UW-M Field Station and the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. From 1996 to 2009 she was the International Coordinator of the Birds Without Borders – Aves Sin Fronteras project.

Report on Saw-Whet Owl Festival
Audubon members who went to the Saw-Whet Owl
festival at Woodland Dunes, Two Rivers, did not see
any saw-whets because of strong winds the night
before when owls are mist netted. However, they
listened to a wildlife rehabilitator from WOW
(Wildlife of Wisconsin). The reluctant horned
owl was part of that demonstration. (Photo by Amy
Sheldon). Those who would like to see a saw-whet
banding and release can arrive at Woodland Dunes
from daybreak to 8 am during the migration season
(October through November 19) on mornings after
a calm and rain-free night.
