Justin Trails

Birds are made welcome with feeders hanging on The Lodge, flowers, shrubs and trees for food and habitat. Songbirds are found near our buildings. You will find hawks and larger birds on the trails.

Bird watchers are thrilled with the large variety of birds found on our property. In our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast library we have “Birds of Wisconsin, Field Guide” by Stan Tekiela available for your use to identify any species unknow to you. We have the videos: “Hummingbirds; Jewels of the Forest” and “Bats; the True Story” for your viewing pleasure.

Song birds: dark-eyed juncos, American gold finches, northern cardinals, nut hatches, downy woodpeckers, humming birds, rose breasted grosbeak, house finches, house wren, black-capped chickadee, tufted titmouse, American robin and Baltimore oriole all make their home around the buildings at Justin Trails Resort.

Wild Birds Unlimited bird food menu available to our birds include: sunflower seeds, Nyjer thistle seed, safflower seeds, peanuts, sugar water and a premium blend of seeds. Bird feeders, a bird bath and heated drinking water bring the birds to the restaurant windows for Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast guests viewing pleasure.

Birds of field and forest near Sparta, Wisconsin include: red-winged blackbirds, American crow, blue jay, brown-headed cowbird, killdeer, mourning doves, wood ducks, great horned owl, ring-necked pheasant, northern harrier, wild turkeys and sandhill cranes. An eagle nest has been spotted east of State Highway 27 about two miles from Justin Trails Resort. Occasionally we see an eagle circling on our property.

Barn swallows are very evident in the compound around the buildings. Barn Swallows make their home in the basement of the barn. They are great fun to watch when mom flies in with food for her babies who are peeping from four yellow mouths wide open. Their swooping flight patterns are so graceful. These industrious birds feed on mosquitoes. The benefit to you is the opportunity to sit outdoors in the evening without mosquito bites.

Bats are seen at dusk as they feed on mosquitoes and other bugs. They can be seen swooping about 12 to 15 feet above ground. The bats are afraid of humans and are very good at avoiding humans.

Visit the Sparta Bed and Breakfast Wisconsin, Justin Trails Resort LLC for a day or a week-long getaway in the peaceful countryside.
