Event By: Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin (NRF)
Join the NRF for a special field trip to Retzer Nature Center! Discover Retzer’s Bobolinks…and more! Learn about these special birds who migrate to Retzer for the unique, preferred nesting habitat. Then we'll hike to look for them and other species like Henslow's sparrows, Eastern bluebirds, and more. Finally, enjoy "Beyond Our Senses: Bank Swallows," a 30-minute show in the Horwitz-DeRemer planetarium, giving us a close-up view of Milwaukee bluffs and the nesting swallows who visit each year!
