Summary

(FULL) Birding in the Cedarburg Bog by Canoe or Kayak

Friday, May 9, 6:30-9 a.m.

***This Event is Now FULL***

Mud Lake in the Cedarburg Bog is the largest and least visited lake in Ozaukee County. It furthermore is one of the top birding areas in the county. During this outing, we will explore Mud Lake and its surroundings in search of a true wilderness experience only 20 miles north of a major urban metropolis. We will be looking for late migrants and avian residents uncommon to rare in southeastern Wisconsin, e.g., two bittern species, Alder and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers, rails, and waterbirds of every ilk. We will do about 1.5 miles of paddling. Canoes will be provided at a $10 rental fee payable at the time of the outing. A limited number of personal kayaks and canoes will be allowed, but only with advance permission.

This program is being presented by the Friends of the Cedarburg Bog in partnership with the Ozaukee Washington Birding Coalition. The outing starts and ends at the UWM Field Station, 3095 Blue Goose Rd., Saukville. Capacity limit of 14 persons. Prior registration is required through the Friends of the Cedarburg Bog 

If you have questions or need permission to bring your personal kayak or canoe, contact John O’Donnell at johnodonnell132@gmail.com
