## About

Take part in the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count, the longest-running community science birding project, on a free guided hike along the Lake Terrace Loop. The hike is led by the Milwaukee Christmas Bird Count compiler with Wisconsin Master Naturalist volunteers. A good first citizen-science outing for older kids and teens who like birds. The trail sits at the bottom of a steep bluff, so wear anti-slip footwear. Meet in front of the building. Registration is required.
