Ultra Rare Grenada Dove – In the forests of Grenada, one of the rarest birds in the world struggles to survive. Due to loss of habitat, feral animals, and their ground foraging habits, the Grenada Dove is critically endangered. What can be done to help this endemic species, and can Badgerland Birding capture video of one in the wild?

Searching for Solitaires – We brave the snow and ice to traverse the beautiful trails at Devil’s Lake State Park to look for a rare winter visitor: The Townsend’s Solitaire. These birds come through the state each winter, but due to the fact that they prefer nearly inaccessible terrain, they are always an adventure to try and locate.


44 Species on New Year’s Day – It’s a brand new year! That means that everyone’s annual totals are back to zero and every birder has a clean slate.

On the way we find some very cool birds.


Gold Rush – The rolling bluffs of southwest Wisconsin are home to the majestic Golden Eagle. These eagles make an appearance in winter and can be found by driving the winding roads and looking to the sky. Join us as we search for these Wisconsin rarities.
