Descripción
The UW Arboretum is a 1,200-acre natural area and research center maintained by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Bordering Lake Wingra, its habitats include woodlands, prairies, savannas, wetlands, and open water, supporting a rich variety of resident and migratory bird species.
Breeding birds in the UW-Madison Arboretum include Scarlet Tanager, Wood Thrush, Pileated Woodpecker, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Eastern Kingbird, Eastern Bluebird, Tree Swallow, and Brown Thrasher. Wild Turkey are frequent. Sandhill Cranes and Great Blue Herons nest in Gardner Marsh. During migration, Wingra Woods, Gallistel Woods, and the Icke Boardwalk host a variety of warblers and other songbirds. Lake Wingra is ideal for observing migrating waterbirds, including ducks, grebes, and rails. In summer, Osprey, Green Heron, and Double-crested Cormorant can be seen, while are present year-round. Winter birding is particularly rewarding at Spring Trail Pond, where unfrozen water attracts American Black Duck and Wood Duck.
