Bird Program Scheduled at the M.S. Kirby Library
Every day we see and hear birds, but do we know who they are? Do you know what chickadees, house finches, and song sparrows look or sound like?
The Marian Sutherland Kirby Library will host members of the Greater Wyoming Valley Audubon Society for the presentation of The Birds We All See and Hear. The program will be held on Wednesday, May 8 at 6:30pm in the Community Room of the library located at 35 Kirby Ave., Mountaintop.
This program will introduce you to the common birds you see at your home or local park and the distinctive calls that each makes so they can be identified even when you can't see them. Learn ways you can invite these beautiful songsters to your yard. Noticing the birds around you can greatly brighten your day and connect you to nature.
An optional bird walk is planned for Saturday, May 11 at 9:00am on the library grounds and nature trail. Members of the Greater Wyoming Valley Audubon Society will share tips for birding by ear and recognizing field marks. Learn to identify the birds that are appearing and singing at this time of year. Please wear suitable footwear in case the trail is muddy and meet outside of the library.
Register for the presentation by calling 570-474-9313. It is not necessary to register for the bird walk.
