Migration Madness

For many, March means basketball—but for bird lovers, it’s all about migration! As spring arrives, so do many bird species returning to Wisconsin. To celebrate, we’re hosting Migration Madness, a fun, bracket-style competition where you can vote for your favorite birds!

How It Works

We’re starting with 32 bird species found across the diverse habitats of Schlitz Audubon (hence the bracket names!). Each week, birds will go head-to-head in matchups, and your votes will decide which ones advance to the next round.
