Palmyra CBC


Home feeder watchers that are located within the count circles are also welcome to participate (please email/call ahead for instructions). To sign up or for more information, contact Eric Howe at .

A WI state park vehicle sticker is required by the participant for some of the state owned lands within the count circle (i.e. portions of the Kettle Moraine State Forest).  Wearing orange is recommended when hiking on public lands due to the potential of deer hunting in the area.
