Suitable for Tweens, Teens and Adults
Fluff up your feathers and come explore birds in winter!  We will learn who sticks around through the coldest months of the year and how these birds survive in challenging conditions. We’ll also practice listening for and recognizing bird calls! We will be hiking 0.6 miles, pausing frequently to listen for birds and observe their activities.

This program will meet at the wooden and metal kiosk the Madison Avenue Pinelands Trailhead (#7).
