Nature Activities

There are so many great ways to get outside and have fun while you bird, especially for families participating together.

Join for an upcoming Bird-a-thon program!
Fill up your birdfeeder only if it won't attract unwanted wildlife* and/or make your own pine cone birdfeeder.
Complete the Bird Word Search
Take the Bird Match-Up Quiz
Finish a Spring Bingo card by finding all items in a row, column, or diagonal line!
Complete a Nature Coloring Page using crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc.
Go green! Only use carbon-free ways of traveling (walk, bike, kayak, etc.) during Bird-a-thon.
Find the items on the Scavenger Hunt.

*If you live in an area where bear activity has been documented, all seed & suet feeders should be removed from April 1–November 1 to avoid attracting Black Bears.
