Comments: This is the every 4th Sunday Bird City Partners Bird and Nature Walk 
co-sponsored by Madison Audubon and Friends of the UW Lakeshore Nature 
Preserve. A group of families and nature lovers including two couples from 
Illinois and students from Taiwan and China enjoyed a sunny stroll through 
Bills Woods, spotted 3 lingering Tundra Swans among hundreds of Canada Geese on 
the bay, stopped at the 'Audubon Outpost' to scope Lake Mendota and the Bald 
Eagle perched on Second Point, and returned to Eagle Heights Gardens via the 
Biocore Prairie for hot cocoa.

Conservation Park, 2nd Sunday at Turville Point Conservation Park, 3rd Sunday 
at Warner Park's Wild Side, and 4th Sunday at the UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve. 
See cityofmadison.com/parks and madisonaudubon.org for more details and
