It's time for our backyard birds to head south for the winter.

Let's give them a proper send-off with a fun, free family event that features bird banding demonstrations, interactive games about bird migration, and lots of table-top science including bird-call recall, bird identification, shorebird feeding challenges, and a mystery bird nest challenge!

November is also a time when our birds that are staying need a protein-rich diet of seeds and berries.

Test your skills with a 'food for birds' treasure hunt, and sample some delicious homemade treats made with local autumn olives, beach plums, and cranberries.

For ages 2 to 6, we'll have storytelling, crafts, and guided games about birds and nests, both indoors and out.

Family presentations will be offered at quarter past each hour.

For ages 7 and up, visit our STEM Lab to learn about the physics of flight, and design a bird feeder to take home and test out!
