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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
The Inventory and Monitoring Review (2004)
The state of wildlife and plant community surveys and management information in Wisconsin; this report contains an
evaluation of mammal, bird, amphibian, reptile, invertebrate, and vegetation inventory and monitoring programs in Wisconsin,
including a detailed look at the adequacy of current distribution, population, health, and habitat information.
