#44. KEYNOTE PRESENTATION – Rare Bird Alert: Counting Down the Ten Best Birds in 50 Years of Chequamegon Bay Birding 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm The Chequamegon Bay area has been known for decades as one of the state’s great birding destinations. In recent years, however, sightings of several very rare birds have elevated its profile among the state and regional birdwatching community. In this presentation, WDNR Conservation Biologist – and familiar face of the festival – Ryan Brady will recap many of the exciting finds here from years near and far. Why are so many rare birds seen here? Have there been more than usual lately? How do they get here? Ryan will untangle the mysteries of these wayward wanderers and along the way offer his list of the Top Ten Rarest Birds ever recorded in Ashland and Bayfield counties. Additional Cost: $10 Ryan Brady is a Conservation Biologist for Wisconsin DNR based out of Ashland, where he leads various bird monitoring, education, and conservation projects. Native to eastern Pennsylvania, he came to Wisconsin via Northland College in 1995. He has studied the birds of the Chequamegon Bay area for nearly 30 years, and after all that time, still can’t tell you what his favorite bird is!
