More Information

September is a big migration month for birds beginning to head south for the winter. Learn about birds and what makes them able to fly such long distances. We will learn what characteristics can be used to identify birds and learn some of the common birds in Pennsylvania. Participants will also play a migration game and use binoculars to do some bird watching along the creek.
