Chickadee Birders: Eagles and Owls

We will explore the Merrimac River and Parker River National Wildlife Refuge areas in search of snowy owls and eagles. We may also find Short-eared owls just before sunset. We will introduce elementary age children (ages 7-11 or grades 2-5) to the basics of birding, bird life, and seasonal migration through talks, activities and field trips. Birding is a lifelong skill that can lead to a greater interest in the outdoors and the environment as a whole. Fee covers one child with one parent.
