Driftless Area BioBlitz – Beautiful Birds FREE Family Program

Join us for the 2026 Driftless Area BioBlitz (DABB)! At these FREE events, experts from our community will be leading field expeditions to teach about specific topics in nature. Each event starts with a brief education about their topic, and then we will go out into the field to identify what we’ve learned about. Some events will be at The Nature Place and some off-site.

Topic for the event this Saturday, May 2 at The Nature Place is Beautiful Birds. Sophia Sperduto, Environmental Educator, AmeriCorps Member, ornithologist, and artist, will talk about how amazing birds are, how to observe birds, and help protect them. All ages and skill levels are welcome to learn, observe, and explore with us! We use iNaturalist to identify and upload images to a community science database. Add your observations to iNaturalist and or to your own personal passport that we provide. Get a sticker and a button and help us add more community scientists to DABB!
