Goshawk

Forest Raptors
Raptors are important barometers to measure the health and sustainability of ecosystems. This project provides species accounts, calls, an on-line observation reporting form, and additional links to forest raptor projects in Wisconsin and the western Great Lakes.


American Rubyspot

Dragonflies and Damselflies
This survey of Wisconsin's Odonata contains 160+ species accounts of Wisconsin's dragonflies and damselflies and includes behavioral and habitat notes, identification pointers, distribution maps (county checklists), state and global status, and flight period charts. There are also guidelines on how you can observe and collect odonates and help with Wisconsin's Odonata Survey.


Northern Long-eared bat

Wisconsin Bat Monitoring Program
In order for Wisconsin to address current and future issues related to bats within the state, more information about its resident bat populations and their seasonal migratory movements is needed. Explore the many different ways that data are being collected, and see how you can become involved.


American Bullfrog

Wisconsin Frog and Toad Survey
This project is a citizen-based monitoring program coordinated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The primary purpose of the WFTS is to determine the status, distribution, and long-term population trends of Wisconsin’s 13 frog species.


Southern Flying Squirrel

Small Mammal Inventory
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources along with a variety of partners is designing an inventory and monitoring program for all terrestrial and aquatic wildlife in order to better support the ecosystem management decision making process. Our understanding of a variety of game and endangered species is relatively good; however, we know surprisingly little about the distribution, populations status, and habitat needs of many of the State's other mammal species.


Winged Mapleleaf

Wisconsin Mussel Monitoring Program
Over half of Wisconsin's 51 native mussel species are listed as species of greatest conservation need or we need information on where they currently occur. The Mussel Monitoring Program of Wisconsin would like your help in finding out what mussels occur in your area!


Nightjar

Wisconsin Bird Monitoring
Information about how you can get involved with the Western Great Lakes Owl Survey, and Wisconsin's Marshbird, Nightjar, and Red-shouldered Hawk Surveys. Links are also available to many other bird monitoring sites. Making your birding count toward bird conservation has never been easier!
