Site Description<\/h3>\n

This site, encompassing the Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, contains one of the largest blocks of upland deciduous forest in southeastern Wisconsin.\u00a0 It also contains sedge meadows and other wetlands, native prairies, savanna, shrub carr, cool-season grasslands, upland shrubs, and conifer plantations.<\/p>\n

Ornithological Importance<\/h3>\n

This IBA provides critical habitat for southern forest interior birds, including yellow-billed cuckoo, whip-poor-will, yellow-throated vireo, eastern wood-pewee, wood thrush, cerulean warbler, and the state\u2019s largest population of hooded warbler.\u00a0 Over 3,000 acres of wet grassland habitat provide for northern harrier, sedge wren, Henslow\u2019s sparrow, field sparrow, bobolink, and Eastern meadowlark.\u00a0 Ongoing savanna restorations may allow species such as red-headed woodpecker to expand their numbers.\u00a0 The site also is a major stopover site for migrating landbirds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
