A group of fascinating difficult-to-detect birds called secretive marshbirds including rails, bitterns, grebes and others rely on high-quality wetlands and have been experiencing population decreases due to loss and degradation of habitat. Learn about these species, the threats they face, their use of Allouez Bay and other wetlands in the St. Louis River Estuary, and a restoration project in Allouez Bay that is restoring habitat that they rely on.

Learn about these sneaky birds with Tom Prestby, the Wisconsin Conservation Manager with Great Lakes Audubon.
