Friends of the Twin Rivers and Twin Rivers Water Trail

Thank you to our volunteers who came out this past Saturday to help with our beach cleanup and dune grass planting!

We had over 20 volunteers to help pick up over 90 pounds of garbage and contribute to planting over 10,000 dune grass plants in the area. We are so thankful for the support of this community.

It was a lovely morning birding on the West Twin River. We saw 43 species of birds, including orchard orioles and a purple finch. This sandhill crane is hoping we don't notice her incubating her eggs. Thanks Shelly Randerson for the photo.

Calling all eagle-eyed volunteers! Registration for the Bald Eagle Nest Watch program is now open for the 2023 nesting season! If you like the idea of spending an hour each week watching and documenting a Bald Eagle family grow, learn more and sign up at madisonaudubon.org/benw.
