Event Information
Spend a cozy winter afternoon at Penitentiary Glen Nature Center learning all about winter birds.
Relax with a hot drink, watch the birds at our feeders in the award-winning Window on Wildlife, and ask a Naturalist all your bird and bird feeding questions. Chat with us about which types of feed specific birds like, the different styles of birdfeeders, the ins and outs of binoculars, and identifying the Top Ten Birds in your backyard this winter.
Birds can be found everywhere, in every habitat, from the downtown of a city to the suburbs to farm fields. Feeding and watching the birds in your yard are a great way for people to “connect to nature.”
