Winter Challenge Wednesday! week three: tracks and scat and winter birds

A free program open to all ages!

Meet inside the nature center with Tricia, then head out for a themed hike that will get your heart pumping. The goal is to get outside and observe a world that we are all to often oblivious to, as we spend the winter rushing to and from heated buildings and cars.

Week Three: tracks and scat and winter birds (identification challenge) 

•    
•  
• Depending on the weather and the interests of the group, we will either set out to identify tracks and scat or birds
• For birds: we will try to discuss some of the natural history of the birds we seem especially what they eat and how they deal with the cold in the winter
• For tracks and scat: what can the shape of a track or the contents of scat tell us about the way the animal who left it interacts with the world

This hike is led by Tricia, a Tanglewood volunteer with extensive environmental education experience. She has worked as a naturalist at Friends of the Five Rivers in Elmar, NY and at the Klamath Bird Observatory in Ashland, OR.
