Bird Hike Ages 8 and Up
Join Konnie Her , naturalist and avid bird watcher , at Maplewood Nature Center for a guided bird watching hike . The hikes are held monthly and each month you will discover different birds calling the nature center home and others just passing through on their migration flight . Binoculars will be available for use or bring your own . This is a great opportunity to share quality and educational time with a special youth in your life as those ages eight and above are welcome when accompanied by an adult . Please note : trails in the nature center are unpaved . Konnie Her

Learn how to identify the bluebird , their call , migration , nesting habits , the bluebird house project , and help the instructor with his weekly bluebird count . This time of the year , they should even have eggs in their nests ! Learn how you can build houses that will bring bluebirds to your backyard . Please note : you will be walking on unpaved surfaces .
