TAKEOFF! – This female red-winged blackbird was caught just leaving a cattail stalk by Dr. Wang Dajun, a visiting wildlife biologist at UW Madison. For a portfolio of Dr. Wang’s photos — all shot standing in one spot in the park, click here.
Welcome to Wild Warner, a Web site (and organization) to celebrate and protect the wildlife and rich ecosystem that exist in Madison’s largest urban park.
Wetlands, woods, prairie, marsh islands — home to deer, foxes, muskrats, mink, beavers, a 250-year old bur oak tree and 135 species of birds — Warner is a wild spot in a busy city.
Wild Warner, Inc. is a nonprofit advocacy group for the “wild” side of Warner Park. We meet on the 1st Tuesday monthly (6-8 p.m.) at Warner Park Community Recreation Center. Check our BLOG for news and commentary, and its dropdown link, MEMBER NEWS, for minutes and other updates.
