Winter Wildlife Up Close: Birds, Feeders, and a Guided Walk

Description

There are so many cool birds in your own backyard if you know where to look! Find out what they're up to in the winter, starting with a close encounter with one of Drumlin Farm's wildlife ambassador birds. Get introduced to their unique behaviors, calls, favorite foods, and how they brave the coldest months.

From there, take a guided walk, putting your new knowledge to work as you learn to identify local birds by sight and sound. After exploring outdoors, head inside for a craft session where everyone will build a bird feeder from recycled materials to bring home—a small but meaningful step toward supporting birds in your own neighborhood.
