Woodland Dunes Celebrates International Migratory Bird Day
with Annual Bird Breakfast and Honoring Dr. Charles Sontag
Two Rivers -
Woodland Dunes Nature Center is holding its annual family- friendly Bird
Breakfast and Migration Celebration on Saturday, May 20th. Come enjoy a ham and pancake breakfast at the
Nature Center with a morning of learning about birds and nature. Admission: $5
per adult, $4 per child (age 5 to 12), children ages 4 and under are free.
“This is a fun and educational way to
honor International Migratory Bird Day and celebrate the return of our
migrating birds,” stated Jessica Johnsrud, Education Coordinator of Woodland
Dunes.
Scheduled Activities
will include guided hikes, bird banding demonstrations (weather permitting),
children’s activities, Bald Eagle viewing and more.
At 11:00, Executive Director, Jim
Knickelbine, will lead a caravan to the Manitowoc containment center where he will
give a short presentation on the new Manitowoc Lakefront Birding Area and the
improvements being made there. The newly established Birding Area will include
signage honoring Dr. Charles Sontag, professor emeritus of biology at
UW-Manitowoc. Sontag has spent 50 years recording birds in Manitowoc. Because
of his commitment to recording birds at the containment center, this area is
considered the number one birding hot spot in the state of Wisconsin.
The event is sponsored by Browns of
Two Rivers and SeedsNBeans.
