MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Bird lovers across Wisconsin are back in competition this week.
The Great Wisconsin Birdathon returns Wednesday, raising money and awareness for bird conservation statewide.
The two‑month competition runs from April 15 through June 15, with teams, from students to expert birders, challenging themselves to spot as many species as possible and raise donations along the way. Most teams bird for 24 hours, though some spread it over a weekend, a week, or the full event.
Organizers hope to raise $130,000 this year, with proceeds supporting habitat creation, research, and education.
