Birding by the Seasons – for Families

Birds fascinate us with their ability of flight, intriguing behavior, nest-making, and beauty. Explore the world of birds with local bird enthusiast Mary Trout through a new family field trip series. Each session will include an introductory component, hike, and fun activities the whole family can enjoy. Other nature topics will be woven into the program. Field guides and binoculars will be available for use during each program, but please bring your own if you have them. In this first session, discover which birds winter in northern Michigan and learn how they survive during this challenging season. Make one or all six tasty bird treats to take home to share with feathered friends visiting your yard. Dress warmly and bring your curiosity and sense of adventure with you! Take home activities will be provided. Registration required. Please call Melissa at 231.344.1004.
