Interested in participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count but not sure where to start? Join us at two new locations this year – Kimberly Point and Wilderness Park in Neenah – as we search for birds, count species totals, and report our sightings to eBird. We will start at Kimberly Point at 9:00 a.m. to look for Common Goldeneye, mergansers, and other waterfowl species. Then we will head over to Wilderness Park to search for finches, woodpeckers, and other winter birds. Be sure to dress warm. See you there!
The Great Backyard Bird Count is a 4 day event beginning on Friday, February 17 through Monday, February 20, 2023. For more details click here.
