Fall Migration Day in Ferryville scheduled for November 5

For anyone who enjoys seeing the migrating ducks, geese, pelicans and tundra swans along the Mississippi River, or who would like to learn more about identifying them and finding out where they are going, the Ferryville Tourism Council is sponsoring a birding morning with these goals in mind. The purpose of this event will be to see which migratory birds are using the Mississippi Flyway at this particular time of year. The event is for both experienced and beginning birders.

Saturday, November 5, Dan Jackson, president of the Coulee Region Audubon Society, will join Ferryville Tourism Council member Joanne White at the River View Park in downtown Ferryville, WI. They will be available from 9-11 a.m. that day to assist interested birders. A telescope is permanently mounted at the park for continuous viewing, and four additional spotting scopes will be set up for viewing. Treats and handouts will also be available.

Ferryville Tourism Council is sponsoring this as the fourth annual Fall Migration Day event.
