Wisconsin is one of the great birding states, hosting Whooping Cranes and Kirtland’s Warblers to Prairie-Chickens. Avian riches range from shorebirds along Lake Superior and Lake Michigan to Sharp-tailed Grouse, Great Gray & Snowy Owls, Yellow Rails, Golden Eagles, migrant and nesting warblers, and hundreds of other songbirds.
Many of the birding hotspots are within driving distance from major cities and have fantastic trail systems. Author Steve Betchkal has spent years traveling the state documenting its birds. He has divided the state into three regions: Northern Wisconsin, Central Wisconsin and Southern Wisconsin. Steve describes 100 birding locations, the key birds of each, their rare birds, the best seasons for visiting, and the area description, along with driving directions and GPS coordinates. There are regional maps showing the birding locations in each region, along with dozens of maps of individual locations. More than 80 outstanding color photos of key birds are included. Hotspots like Horicon Marsh, Crex Meadows, Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge and dozens more are fully covered!
