Overview:Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience! In the area around the Kensington Metropark Nature Center, a variety of winter songbirds will eagerly fly near to greet you. We’ll help you meet them up close, understand why they do this, and provide tips for how to improve your chances of a close encounter, maybe even a landing on you! We’ll begin in the nature center where we’ll explore why this activity is possible in the park, and how to identify the birds you might see. Then take a short, guided walk along a mixed gravel path for about ½ mile that may be snow or ice covered, to meet your new feathered friends. You might also want to bring your camera! Dress for the weather – we’ll be heading outside snow, rain, or shine.What to expect:This program starts indoors and ends outside.
