Wisconsin Birding Opportunities in the Driftless Area
Warmer temperatures mean that wildlife and bird activity pick up, especially for waterfowl and water birds. Take a step outside your door, and you’ll hear that bird song is much more prevalent, as cardinals, chickadees, finches, robins, and sparrows increased their vocal activity. The hilly terrain and lush vegetation found throughout the Driftless Area, in addition to its close proximity to the Mississippi River Flyway, combines for unparalleled Wisconsin birding.

Our family stayed in mid-August. We had a very relaxing visit. The house is comfortable and the property is encircled by hills, making the experience a unique getaway. We enjoyed building bonfires each night, hanging out in the nice living room and taking the surprisingly lengthy hikes that are all on the property. Mornings started with coffee on the second story porch overlooking the meadow and hills, evenings ended with zero noise except that made by nature or our family. Each night there was a canopy of bright stars that weren't diluted by light pollution. We enjoyed hiking Wildcat Mountain, canoeing down the Kickapoo, roasting smores and hanging out. My son and I tried our luck at trout fishing in a nearby stream (Tainter?). It was an enjoyable, unique experience although we didn't catch anything. We'll be back.
