WIYBC field trip on Saturday

Some friends and I recently created the Wisconsin Young Birders Club; a statewide club built by and for YBs.  We are official as of Jan 1st, 2013 and are working to get a website up and provide some field trip opportunities and other fun stuff for WI YBs.

All YBs under 26 years of age are welcome to attend any of our field trips or meetings and any adults who bring a YB with them are also welcome to attend.

Until we get our website up and running, you are welcome to check out our Facebook Page here:
