Registration is not required, but is encouraged so we can send out reminders and make sure we are ready for people.
Join the Lake Superior Reserve and the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve for a free, bird-focused morning.
We welcome people of all ages and ability levels to attend this accessible birding event at the Lake Superior Estuarium on Barker's Island in Superior. Move along the boardwalk or paved trails on a guided bird hike, or explore bird artifacts like feathers and skulls indoors at your own pace. These activities are designed with access in mind, but if you would like to request additional accommodations, please email Luciana.Ranelli@Wisc.Edu or call Luciana at 715-399-4085 at least 10 days before the event.
We have 15 pairs of binoculars for people to use, a spotting scope, a wheelchair mount for the scope, and portable seating.
Light refreshments will be provided. Come and stay for the whole time, or meet up with or leave the group when you need.
There are two single-user indoor, wheelchair accessible bathrooms inside the Estuarium.
This free event was made possible through the UW-Madison Dean’s Innovation grant.
