PROGRAM: Breakfast with the Birds
Sunday, August 2 - 9:30am to 11:00am CDT Paul H Douglas Center 100 N. Lake Street, Gary, IN Every first Sunday of the month, our Outreach Ambassadors will help visitors focus on the birds seen through the bird feeder observation window at the Paul H. Douglas Center, providing help with bird identification and binoculars will be available to use. Each month will also feature and highlight a specific bird species and include its life history and conservation story. This month's bird is the Northern Cardinal. Beverages and treats will be supplied from Tiny's Coffee Bar (555 S Lake St, Miller) for all to enjoy. This is a FREE event and a National Park parking pass is not required. |
