I happened upon info on three upcoming bird related events at the Sciencenter in Ithaca: http://www.sciencenter.org/whatsnew/eventscalendar.asp
1)Showtime! Pollution and Bird Songs Saturday, March 6, 2 p.m. Can pollution change the way birds sing? Sara DeLeon of Cornell University will present how common song birds such as Black Capped Chickadees and Song Sparrows change their songs in response to pollution, specifically PCBs. ------------ 2)This one sounds like a bird related storytime story: Curiosity Corner Program for Our Youngest Visitors Early Childhood Programs in the Curiosity Corner are especially designed for toddlers and preschoolers. Storytime and Tactile Time are included with admission. Kids under three receive free admission. Storytime: Feathers for Lunch Tuesday, March 9, 10:30 a.m. Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to hear the story "Feathers for Lunch" by Lois Ehlert and make a feather collage to take home. -- 3)Showtime! Whoo Do You Eat? Saturday, March 20, 2 p.m. Learn what owls eat with Sciencenter educator John Alvarez del Castillo. Families will dissect real "owl pellets"--the regurgitated fur, bones, and other inedible parts of an owl's diet! Here are the Admission Rates for the Sciencenter: Members & Children under 3 FREE Children (ages 3-17) $5.00 Adults (18+) $7.00 Seniors (65+) $6.00 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
