SUMMARY:Winter Birds in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a passion for birds? Interested in learning more about them? Join us at Wistariahurst on February 26th for the event “Winter Birds in Massachusetts!” Staff from Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary will provide two seasonal programs on birds\, both to be held at Wistariahurst in Holyoke. Join us inside the museum as Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary gives an indoor presentation on the wintering birds of our area and how to identify them. Learn about the different types of bird feeders\, what to put in them\, and when to put out food. We will also discuss community science projects and what you can do to help birds thrive. After the indoor presentation\, guests can enjoy a quick walk outside to practice identifying the birds they learned about during the session. This program is a great way for people to learn how to identify backyard birds and indulge in a new winter activity! \nThe first program\, to be held in February\, will introduce participants to birds\, with a focus on both those found in winter and those found in Holyoke. The second program\, held in September will introduce participants to how to bird by ear or identify bird sounds. Both programs will start indoors\, with a PowerPoint\, and weather dependent\, go outdoors for the last hour to practice what was learned. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Cultural Council\, a local agency that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. Winter Birds in Massachusetts is free and open to the public\, so don’t let this opportunity fly over your head! Join us on February 26th\, 2025 from 2pm-4pm!
