Horicon Marsh Bird Club

Andrew Farnsworth- Cornell Lab What’s new in bird migration? A primer of today’s knowledge
2026-01-15 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | WI
One of the most fun and exciting aspects of directing and participating in the BirdCast project over the last 25 years has been reading and responding to the enormous array of questions posed by careful observers, curious bystanders, and attentive experts. In this evening’s discussion, we will cover everything from what’s new in the world of bird migration, migration monitoring, and more broadly in the ways we learn and develop both. We will cover birding, science, technology, and try to have as much fun and novel insight as possible!
Andrew Farnsworth is a Visiting Scientist in the Center for Avian Population Studies at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Andrew began birding at age 5 and quickly developed his long-standing fascinations with bird migration. He and his collaborators employ science to educate and to engage audiences in conservation actions, notably with respect to reducing light pollution impacts on nocturnally migrating birds. He lives in New York, NY with his wife Patricia and two daughters Aja and Elle.
The meeting is open to the public and is held at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center located at N7725 Highway 28, Horicon, WI. You can also join us via Zoom.

Flying into Wildlife & Wind Energy- David Drake
2026-02-12 18:30 - 20:00 | WI
Wind energy offers many benefits, including a renewable source of energy that does not produce air or water
pollution. A drawback to generating energy from wind, however, is the negative effect it can have on flying
wildlife (birds and bats). These effects can range from lethal ones due to blunt force trauma from striking the
turbine infrastructure to non-lethal ones like habitat displacement. My presentation will provide some
background about wind energy and then focus on research my lab and I conducted at the Forward Energy wind
farm in Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties.
David Drake is a Professor and Extension Wildlife Specialist in the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research and extension programs primarily focus on wildlife and
wildlife damage management in human-dominated landscapes.
