Sunday, June 20, 2010 - Retzer Nature Center - 8:00 A.M.
We'll start he bird hike at 8:00 AM and continue however long we want to hike. The building is open at 8:00 AM, so we'll have bathroom facilities, but won't really be using the building for a meeting or anything after the hike. It was thought that we could dedicate the hike to Harlow, as he had reserved the date at Retzer for us, and also, it is Father's Day, and he was like a "fatherly" figure to many.  It was suggested that we could go out for coffee/breakfast/brunch in Waukesha somewhere after the hike if there is interest, and if we can find a place that isn't too jam-packed!
