Migration Obstacles & Bird Collision Corps

Migration season is upon us! We will be learning about migration obstacles through an interactive educational activity/obstacle course that teaches students about physical challenges and environmental hazards that migratory birds face on their journey.

Additionally, we will be focusing in on Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance’s (SWBA) “Bird Collision Corps” Citizen Science opportunity, hoping to participate in the spring. From SWBA’s website: “Bird-window collisions kill over 1 BILLION birds every single year in the United States. That shocking number can be drastically reduced when communities work together to ensure windows that are most problematic for birds are treated to prevent collisions. Typically, the first step in making change in your community is to collect data on when, where, and to what extent the problem is happening. That’s where the Bird Collision Corps (BCC) program comes in.”

Both events are in collaboration with SWBA’s education program.

This event is just for students at Lincoln Elementary; this event is not open to the general public.
