Welcome Back Bird Day is Wednesday, May 20 from 7 am to 5 pm. Everyone is welcome to help identify and count birds as they are migrating back to Eau Claire. The two main sites are at Braun's Bay in Carson Park and at the Dells Pond overlook off Loken Lane. We will have binoculars and scopes, bird books and experienced birders to help people find birds. We also have complimentary bird cookies for everyone. Children are welcome. Welcome Back Bird Day is an annual event in its 13th year and is part of the requirements for Eau Claire being a Bird City.Â
