Welcome to the WGA Geo-Art Series! The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Please solve the puzzle below in order to find the final.

Official State Bird of Wisconsin

Wisconsin designated the American robin (Turdus migratorius) as the official state bird in 1949 (voted on by the school children of Wisconsin in 1926-27).
The American robin is also the state bird of Connecticut and Michigan.

American Robin Facts

One of America's favorite songbirds, robins are watched for each year as the herald of spring. The American robin has many vocalizations - rich songs composed of long phrases and "whinny" and "tut" calls. The female is muted in color compared to the male.

Robins were named by early settlers after the familiar robin red-breast of Europe (a bird with similar markings that is not closely related to the American Robin). The most widespread thrush in North America (because of its adaptation to human-modified habitats), robins are a familiar backyard bird often observed pulling up earthworms on suburban lawns.
