Bird and wildlife watching is one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities. (Insert some statistics here???) Bird and nature watchers can simply observe wildlife around their homes or with a little more effort they can observe wildlife in its natural habitat.
A large proportion of the away-from-home destinations are on public lands. North Central Wisconsin offers many bird and wildlife watching opportunities. The Bird Watching North Central Wisconsin web site provides information on birding and wildlife watching opportunities within a four county area of North Central Wisconsin, including Clark, Marathon, Taylor and Price counties.
Within our featured areas, habitats are many and varied and include prairies and grasslands, marshlands, northern deciduous woodlands, mixed coniferous forests, bogs and boreal habitats. The public land areas included in our coverage are:
For each area, Bird Watching North Central Wisconsin has provided specific information on the history, the habitats, birding hot spots, maps and a list of species likely to be encountered. Maps and brochures are also available for download.
Birds have always been a source of delight to people because of their beauty, their songs and the wonder of flight. Bird watching and nature viewing is an activity that can be enjoyed by persons of all ages. We invite you visit North Central Wisconsin to enjoy the many outdoor outdoor activities available in our "corner of the state." Feel free to contact us with questions or requests for information.
