From the WI DNR:
Blind locations may change: View the updated Directions to Blinds here on or after March 31st. Leks are dynamic and expanding with the growing population. DNR needs to scout for birds in March to ensure the best viewing opportunities. Reduce lek disturbances by using town roads; follow directions. Blind locations may be different than previous year.

From the Friends of NBWA:
The reservations for the blinds are due to open on January 10th, 2026. In the meantime we will need to sometimes open up (unblock) the reservation schedule for testing changes. When this happens and you try to create a reservation you should see a message saying:
This message appears because we have not begun to pay the vendor who owns the reservation schedule. On January 10th we plan to both unblock the schedule and begin the subscription so people can use the reservation site. Thank you for your patience while we make needed Web site changes to improve people’s chances of seeing more birds.
