Bird ecotourism in Wisconsin

I caught the last half of a wonderful documentary on Wisconsin Public Television last night called "Birds of Wisconsin". Check out the site to see when it will be on again-"

"That fascination for birds also raises an interesting marketing dynamic explored in the program -- the monetary windfall to be reaped from bird watching and Wisconsin's own version of eco-tourism. In fact, Wisconsin ranks third in such dollars and destinations nationwide, following Virginia and Minnesota, and tied with Alaska. "

People will pay big bucks to come to Wisconsin to enjoy nature. They won't come if the natural sound is broken up by racing machines.
