Wilson’s Snipe is one of the most common and widespread of all shorebirds. It is found everywhere in North America in its preferred habitat of wet grassy fields, marshes, bogs, and pond edges.
While most of Wisconsin's breeding birds are stuffing their beaks at bird feeders or soaking up their last month(s) on their winter range, one of Wisconsin's earliest breeding birds, Great Horned Owls, are already in full mating season swing.
This majestic raptor, revered in North American cultures for millennia and into the present day, has earned its place in national history as the beloved symbol that we almost lost.
