Spend a cozy winter afternoon at Penitentiary Glen Nature Center learning all about winter birds at the Winter Bird Open House on Sunday, January 29, in Kirtland, Ohio.
Relax with a hot drink, watch the birds at the feeders in the award-winning Window on Wildlife and ask a naturalist all your bird and bird feeding questions. Chat with guides about the different styles of bird feeders, the ins and outs of binoculars and identifying the top ten birds in your backyard this winter.
Activities include:
· Short presentations on common winter birds
· Lessons about binoculars, feeders and bird field guides
· Bird scavenger hunts and quizzes
· Help us count the birds at our feeders for Project Feeder Watch
· Drawings for FREE bird-related items
· Displays of bird-related merchandise by local vendors
Other regular Nature Center activities include the sights and sounds of wildlife at the interactive Nature Calls exhibit. Guests can also visit indoor and outdoor native Ohio wildlife ambassadors at the Wildlife Center, take a hike on more than seven miles of trails (open year-round) or sign-out a kids X-Plorer Pack filled with hands-on activities that help you discover nature in the park. Snowshoes are also available for rent (weather permitting). Admission is free for all ages. No registration required.
