More Incredible Bird Watching Locations in Wisconsin

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Still not getting your bird watching fix? Books can only get you so far and unless you’ve been to places like http://www.direct.tv/direct-tv/Wisconsin/ to get all your fancy nature channels, you might really be craving another outdoor excursion, which is why we’ve put together another incredible article about bird watching locations in Wisconsin.

First on our list is Alma, Wisconsin! If you ever wanted to catch the annual migration of the Tundra swans then you won’t have any problem spotting them from the observation deck on Rieck’s Lake Park.

Next, you might want to check out the 1000 Islands Environmental Center and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore respectively, but don’t try to cram it all into one day. Take some time to enjoy the 300-acre refuge of 1000 Islands where you can see all kinds of birds like the eagles, great blue herons and mergansers. Then, enjoy the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and their 240 different species of bird.

And if that isn’t enough, top off your bird watching excursion with a trip on down to Avon Bottoms. Here you will find 1,600 acres of varying habitats from prairie to swamp to savannah.

That should hold you over, so get out there and see some birds!
