January 6: Jon Woolf- Identifying Backyard Birds, 7-9 pm
Do you love watching the birds at your feeder on those cold winter days? Join us to learn about the common birds you are likely to see in the winter. Also learn how to attract the greatest variety of birds using food and type of feeder. Some basic information about binoculars will be offered as well as how to participate in the Backyard Winter Bird Survey in February.February 3: Maria Colby- Wildlife Rehabilitator, Wings of Dawn, 7-9 pm
Wings of the Dawn, managed and run by Maria Colby, strives to provide the best wildlife rehabilitation services possible. With every rescue, their goal is to rehabilitate the animal back to full health and release it back into the wild. In the few cases that the animal cannot be released back into the wild, it is kept at the bird sanctuary at Wings of the Dawn, or transferred to another nearby wildlife sanctuary (our Raven was rescued and nursed back to health by Maria). She will discuss what a typical day is like, share some amazing stories, and provide info on what to do if you find injured wildlife.
