For those not going to the WSO convention, here is a good alternative.  (I will

Birding Train Trip Planned

 

 

The Lower Chippewa River Alliance (LCRA) is sponsoring a
birding trip by train into the Tiffany Wildlife Area. The trip is open to the
public and is scheduled for Saturday, May 12th, from 7 AM to 12 PM.  More than 
70 different species of birds have
been observed on previous trips. 

 

Steve Betchkal, chief photographer for WQOW-TV in Eau Claire will be
leading the trip. Mr. Betchkal is an award winning videographer, has published
many articles on birds, and has compiled a life birding list of almost 600
species from 42 states. He is also the author of ?All of This and Robins Too: A
Guide to the 50 or So Best Places to Find Birds in Wisconsin?. 

 

The trip is in cooperation with the Chippewa Valley Motor
Car Association. This event is a fund raiser for the Natural Resources
Foundation of Wisconsin?s endowment fund for management of the Lower Chippewa 
River.

 

People interested in participating can send a check made out
to LCRA for $25/adult. Children 6-17 years old are $15 and children under 6 are
free.  Checks can be mailed to LCRA, PO Box 74, Durand,
 WI. 54736. Include name,
address, telephone number and email address. Seats are limited to the first 60
people. Most birding will be along the railroad grade but several short hikes 
will
be conducted away from the train. People should wear appropriate field clothes
for the weather. Contact Dave Linderud at 715-672-8595 for additional
information.
