Get Up Close with Bird Anatomy

Have you ever wanted to see the serrated bill of a merganser, feel the powerful foot of a falcon, or discover what an owl looks like beneath all those feathers? This hands-on program invites you to explore the Maine Master Naturalist Program's incredible collection of bird specimens, learning about bird anatomy, feathers, skeletons, bills, and feet - plus some basic identification skills.

Master Naturalists Cheryl Ring, Sue Kistenmacher, and Andrea Lani will introduce the specimens before guiding participants through interactive stations where you can examine whole birds, bones, and feathers in stunning detail. 

This program is open to all ages, but advance registration is required for each attendee. Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
