My Mom called me freaking out saying she spotted a Snowy Owl at Woodmanโs in Sun Prairie. Of course I jumped in my car immediately to investigate. She was correct!!!! ๐คฏ
I always tell our
@BIPOCBirdingWI
members that you never know what you might see when you start paying attention. Yesterday, my Mom, found a Snowy Owl in Sun Prairie, WI. She called me frantic, unsure if it was a Snowy, so you know the

I had an incredible time leading a Beginner Birders hike for
@madisonaudubon
. We spotted 36 species, including American White Pelicans, Eastern Meadowlark, Indigo Bunting, Green Heron, and an Eastern Kingbird nest. Birding is for everyone!

Did you know Harriet Tubman used owl calls, like the Barred Owl, to guide enslaved individuals to freedom? The hoots signaled safety or danger ahead. Her resourcefulness and courage continue to inspire us today. ๐ฆ๐ค

We had a 7 year old Black boy (Roman) and aspiring ornithologist lead a walk today for our
