Bigby (Big, green, bird year). Green birding is birding done without the use of fossil fuels and/or the internal combustion engine. Green birders are self-propelled birders, e.g., walking, riding a bicycle, paddling a canoe or kayak, or using skis or snowshoes.
Join Dodge County’s Breeding Bird Atlas Coordinator, Matt Herzmann for a bike ride of about 10 leisurely miles around the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge Auto Tour and portions of the Wild Goose Trail.
