“Our Winter Birds” is a slide lecture covering birds that visit feeders, and birds that find all their own food. We will use data from the Concord Christmas Bird Count to discuss changes to our winter bird populations over the decades. Learn more about the birds who visit your backyard feeders and seasonal changes you can expect.

The one hour presentation will be followed by an optional one hour walk along the trails. On the walk, we’ll discuss how different birds make use of the habitats at Summer Star, and how our winter birds are adapted to survive here. This program will be led by Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary’s Ron McAdow and SVT’s Dan Stimson.
