This popular field trip concentrates on the flocks of waterfowl, gulls and other birds along the Lake Michigan shoreline.  After starting at South Shore Yacht Club in Milwaukee, we work our way north and visit several birding spots along the lakeshore, and eventually end up at the Sheboygan’s Marina and North Point around midday.  Dress very warmly for this trip, and bring lots of energy food to eat along the way.
