Wisconsin supports more than 400 species of wild birds, but how well do you know them? Bird expert Steve Betchkal explores some amazing facts about birds – from migration to anatomy, with a healthy dose of humor and conservation. Author Steve Betchkal - an ornithologist, environmentalist, and Emmy and Murrow Award-winning veteran journalist -- has worked at three national parks and camped and backpacked 67 others. Betchkal has written books on birds including All of This and Robins Too: A Guide to the 50 or So Best Places to Find Birds in Wisconsin and Birding Trails Wisconsin: 100 Birding Locations Across the Badger State. This event takes place at Hawthorn Hollow's Hyslop Nature Center and registration is required. There will be a Q&A with Steve after the presentation, along with books for purchase and complimentary refreshments.
