Talk: Breeding Bird Behavior
Advertisement
Experience the wonders of the breeding season through the eyes—and songs—of Door County’s birds! Join Paige Witek of the Door County Land Trust for an insightful guided hike exploring the complex and captivating behaviors birds display as they court, nest, raise young, and defend their territories.
Paige will introduce participants to a variety of local bird species and highlight the strategies they use to attract mates, build nests, and ensure their chicks survive. From brilliant displays and specialized calls to stealthy nesting techniques and impressive migrations, you’ll discover how breeding birds adapt to the unique habitats of Door County’s forests, wetlands, and shorelines.
Learn how to recognize common breeding behaviors in the field, what these behaviors can tell us about ecosystem health, and how the Land Trust’s conservation efforts help protect the habitats that birds rely on during this critical time of year. Bird lovers of all experience levels will come away with a deeper appreciation of the drama, dedication, and beauty unfolding in the canopy and underbrush each year.
