Event Details
Birdwatching requires a combination of skills: a watchful eye, a patient demeanor, and a working knowledge on what local birds look like, sound like, and where you might best find them. At this First Saturday Open House, be an ornithologist by practicing your bird watching skills in the Wagner’s Teaching Garden. Visitors can imitate bird calls and learn tips on how to accurately identify our flying friends. This is a perfect opportunity for folks to freshen up on their ornithology knowledge in preparation for Global Big Day, an annual celebration of birding to be held on Saturday May 9th.
This event is also a part of Remake Learning Days, a national celebration of innovative experiences and opportunities for youth to develop their sense of creativity, perseverance and curiosity.
The Wagner's 100,000+ natural history collection will also be available for self-guided exploration throughout the day. Browse ancient fossils, glowing minerals, and animals from around the globe. Visitors can wander at their own pace, follow the path of one of our themed scavenger hunts, or even fill in a coloring page with images from the Wagner's library!
