This information was received in an e-mail: I'm the Board Secretary for the Friends of Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona, WI and I'm hoping you'd be willing to spread the word about our 2nd annual Northwoods Birding Camp. Our first birding camp last year was a HUGE success and we're excited for this second year. In an attempt to do some "grassroots" advertising I thought perhaps you could share this event with interested staff, friends or any others you think would be interested. Thanks so much! Jessie Schalkowski Board Secretary Friends of Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary (event flyer and description also attached electronically) Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary Northwoods Birding Camp: Friday, June 15 – Friday, June 22 Registration Deadline: May 18 Join Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary for the 2nd annual Northwoods Birding Camp!

Campers will enjoy a full yet flexible schedule filled with opportunities to hike, bird watch, learn from locally and nationally known birding experts, explore the birding opportunities in the local area on optional field trips, relax in a beautiful and serene setting and so much more.
