Good afternoon, Here are a few upcoming events being held here at the Montezuma Audubon Center! If you’d like to review a full list of our programs and events, please visit: https://ny.audubon.org/montezuma-programs-and-events
Join us for a Montezuma Birding Tour! We have scheduled many tours over the coming months at various days and times. There are millions of migratory and resident birds in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex this time of year. Throughout the spring, we will see new species of birds arriving every day including Tree Swallows, Great Egrets, Baltimore Orioles, Purple Martins, Black Terns, Sandhill Cranes, Osprey, and a variety of warblers including Cerulean and Prothonotary. Grab your binoculars or camera and jump in your vehicle to follow behind the Montezuma Audubon Center van for a guided birding tour! The next tour date is this Saturday, April 16, 1 -3:30 p.m. For more information and to register for this Montezuma Birding Tour, please visit https://act.audubon.org/a/montezuma-birding-tour-041622 Earth Day, April 22, marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Earth Day is widely recognized as the largest secular observance in the world, marked by more than a billion people every year as a day of action to change human behavior and create global, national and local policy changes. Join us to celebrate Mother Earth on April 22nd by getting outside for an evening spring hike! Along the 1-mile trail, we will be serenaded by the musicians of the marsh: spring peepers, Red-winged Blackbirds, and American Woodcock among others. This guided hike is from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. and is family-friendly. For more information about our Earth Day Celebration Hike and to register, please visit https://act.audubon.org/a/earthdaycelebrationhike-042222 There's a lot to look forward to in spring, including the welcomed cacophony of breeding birds! The sheer volume of songs and calls can often feel overwhelming for beginning birders, but these sounds offer an opportunity and a challenge, as well as insight into the lives of these feathered friends. Join us for a birding-by-ear workshop on Saturday, April 30 where you will learn how to identify birds through their vocalizations or brush up on your skills that may have gotten a little rusty since last spring. This event will be held in person from 2 -4 p.m. at Montezuma Audubon Center. After the presentation, we will head out for a leisurely walk along the trails at Montezuma Audubon Center to put your new skills to the test!
