Since “discovering” this 70-acre gem, it has been a superstar throughout the Horicon Marsh Bird Festival (154 species e-Birded here). Ziegler Park has 72.3 acres of parkland; most of it is mature wooded forest along the east branch of the Rock River with a 1.5-mile nature trail. This Mayville City Park is a great spot for many birds but particularly warblers. This can be a warbler hotspot with over 15 species being seen on a good day (28 species e-Birded). Join us to search for the colorful woodland warblers!
