Today amid a very cold bitter wind we enjoyed our nature center program, which focused on winter birds. We began with a hike, binoculars and guides in hand. We spotting nuthatches (in the photo if you look closely), juncos, cardinals, chickadees, and downy woodpeckers in the first five minutes at the bird feeders. During the hike we learned about the habitats, and special adaptations of wintering birds in our region. Of course there was some feeding of the birds, a great running game and ending with a craft indoors.
Again, great program. The kids commented, that even on topics we know lots about (like birds), we always learn something when we go there.
