What makes a bird a bird? Examine beaks, feathers, talons, and eggs to discover the incredible adaptations, camouflage, and bone structures of our avian friends. We will go birding and learn about the importance of migration rest stops and how humans play a major role in the survival of migratory bird populations. In honor of Rosalind Schwebel, this is the second of a four-part series.

We are also excited to announce that this years’ Wildlife in Winter program will run in conjunction with the Longwood Community Read. To expand your Wildlife in Winter experience, please read The Tree Lady by Kate Sessions or Lab Girl by Hope Jahren to become inspired to care for the Earth. Be motivated by Rachel Ignofsky’s Women in Science to ponder the many different ways to become an advocate for preserving open space to save wildlife, improve habitat, and spur conservation. Happy reading!
