Beginning in September 2010, meetings will be held at Retzer Nature Center.
   

The club meets on the third Sunday of each month from September through April. Instead of a regularly scheduled meeting in December, the club participates in the annual Christmas Bird Count, and during May the club participates in the spring count.

Meetings are usually held in the dining room in the lower level of the First Presbyterian Church (810 North East Avenue, Waukesha) unless otherwise noted.  Enter the church basement through the kitchen entrance off of the parking lot on the east side of the church.

Because we occasionally meet in other places, contact one of the people listed to confirm the meeting location before attending. 

  • Sandy Pearson - 262-968-9846 -

  • Christine Reel - 262-844-8187 -

  • Jennifer Tyskiewicz - 262-786-0172 -

Meetings begin with a social gathering at 6:45 p.m., which is followed by a program of interest to birdwatchers and a short business meeting.

Everyone interested in birds and bird watching is welcome !
