Summer Fun at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center

In Fox Point and Bayside, there's plenty opportunity to take in the great outdoors, right in your background.

The Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, 1111 E. Brown Deer Rd., offers a slate of events each week to enjoy Mother Nature.

Here's a sampling of what's to come this week:

11th Annual Froggin’ Festival — Tuesday, 6 to 8 p.m.

The frogs are back and so is the party. Join Jim Hyatt as he celebrates with live animals, contests for kids and adults, and critter catching. That’s right. After the indoor stuff, you'll head out to the ponds to see what we can catch. Hyatt’s got nets, so bring your muddin’ shoes and a camera. Pre-Registration is required please call: 414-352-2880 x0.

Sky Hunters: Word with a Bird — Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 2 p.m.

Raptor Saturday — Saturday, 1 to 2 p.m.

July: The Heat is On: How birds adjust to warm weather. Join us in July to 
learn how raptors and other birds adjust to the lazy hazy days of summer. How 
do birds handle the heat? How can we help them when the mercury climbs and how has climate change affected birds?
