Birding contacts and birdwatching information
Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| Approx. 1 hour NW of Madison Richland county area is quite a birding hotspot. We have around 200 species recorded in the county. We're 20 min from the Kickapoo Reserve, an Hour and a half from Necedah NWR and 30 min from the Spring Green preserve. I know the Richland County area like the back of my hand and know where the birds can be found and when. I have set up a website about birding in Richland County and have listed some of the best birding spots. Here's the url: www.freewebs.com/rcbirds | ||||||
