Home Alone Safety Class - Must be pre-registered.

Let us head South as we explore the South Pole and the unique birds that call the frigid area their home, the Penguins. Do Penguins really live in the South Pole? Are Penguins land dwellers or coastal animals? Can you see any penguins at the North Pole? Answering these questions will be the job of the Education Specialist from the Detroit Zoological Society. We will get an up-close look at a day in the life of the Zoo’s penguins, and how they take care of these awesome flightless birds! This LIVE Zoom event will “take the icing” and be perfect for concluding our, “Pole to Pole” series. This family event is something you don’t wait to miss out on. Register early, we are only taking a limited amount of patrons / families on this journey with a planned Q & A session at the end of the presentation.

The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) happens annually and is now in its 23rd year. This project gives all bird enthusiasts an opportunity to help conservation not only in our area, but nationwide. Participating in the bird count is free and easy. You just have to commit to counting birds for as little as 15 minutes and report your sightings online at www.gbbc.birdcount.org. Anyone can take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from beginning bird watchers to experts, and we encourage you this year to count the birds right in your own backyard. Dates for the GBBC is February 12-15, 2021. The Nature Center staff has put together a bird watching kit with information on how to get started identifying birds, along with a cookie cutter bird seed feeder, which will help attract the birds to your backyard. This bird watching kit will get you ready for the Great Backyard Bird Count. Registration deadline: Friday, February 5, 2021.
