DOOR COUNTY - A BIRD CITY WISCONSIN COMMUNITY
WHAT IS A BIRD CITY?
Bird City recognition is received by communities that strive to educate the public and implement sound conservation practices designed to address common threats that have resulted in declining urban bird populations. Door County was designated a Bird City Wisconsin community on July 28, 2014. For more information on bird cities in Wisconsin, visit BirdCityWisconsin.org.
The following communities received their own individual Bird City Wisconsin designation.
Baileys Harbor The most biologically diverse municipality in the state of Wisconsin, where pristine ecosystems comprised of boreal forest, alder thicket, mixed conifer-hardwood forest, and wetland serve as home to over 90 species of birds. TownofBaileysHarbor.com
Egg Harbor A quiet harbor village that welcomes birders of all ages and levels of experience to a one-of-a-kind adventure along its very own Bird Trail. Hike along the marina, past orchards, open fields, and quiet countryside for a glimpse of avian arrivals both common and rare. VillageofEggHarbor.org
Ephraim From the meandering paths of the Ephraim Wetlands Preserve to the serene trails of Peninsula State Park and the Ephraim Preserve at Anderson Pond, explore and discover diverse ecosystems home to 31 nesting species of birds. Ephraim-DoorCounty.com
BIRDING IN DOOR COUNTY
Whether you’re a seasoned expert or a budding novice, Door County’s diverse array of natural habitats is sure to astound with over 300 miles of picturesque shoreline, five state parks, 19 county parks, two nature sanctuaries, and 13 Door County Land Trust locations. Discover and explore secluded forests, sweeping meadows and striking vistas where over 300 of the 800 species of birds, or more than 1/3 of the native North American bird population, have been documented. Visit our designated bird cities where conservation efforts have en-hanced the environment for wildlife and ensured world-class bird watching opportunities year-round.
BIRDING CHECKLIST
Once you spot each of these common Door County birds, check them off your list.
SEASONALITY OF BIRDS
A great deal of wildlife watching and bird watching in particular, depends upon timing. Spring is the perfect time to spot gulls, terns, cranes, pelicans, colorful warblers in the woodlands, and other waterfowl among flooded fields and thawing shoreline. As summer arrives, keep a watchful eye out for a sighting of the beautiful indigo bunting, scar-let tanager, and rose-breasted grosbeak. With the arrival of fall, the familiar sound of geese fills the air as they migrate south for the winter, leaving behind a variety of year-round feathered friends that includes cedar waxwings, American goldfinches and bald eagles.

PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB: BIRDING WITH ETHICS
Ecosystem and wildlife preservation are imperative to the future. Set an example for others as a good steward of Mother Nature by practicing these principles from the American Birding Association when you take to the trails.
• Use restraint and caution to avoid stressing or exposing birds and wildlife to danger at all times.• Limit use of recordings and other means of attracting birds in a heavily birded area. Never attract threatened, endangered, or
rare species in your area. • Maintain a generous distance from nests, nesting colonies, roosts, and feeding areas.• Stay on roads and trails as much as possible to avoid habitat disturbances.• Avoid the use of artificial light for filming and photography.
For additional information and a complete review of the ABA Code of Ethics visit www.aba.org
