Call us to schedule one of these for your student group, library, or after-school event. These can also be booked as add-ons to your field trip to the Museum. We have programs for adults too!
Beginning Bird Watching
From super silly eyebrows to bellies and rumps, we will teach you some of the field marks and features used to describe and identify birds. We will share how every person’s observations can help bird conservation.

Egg-static!
Ever wonder why birds lay eggs? How do bird eggs differ from other animals’ eggs? How do eggs survive to hatching? Make your own egg to color and take home!
