Bird Banding Demonstration at Wellfleet Bay
Wellfleet Bay has established a banding project to study the migration of songbirds. Join banding staff for this special opportunity to see birds up-close and in-the-hand while learning about banding methods and the information gathered from these research projects.

Thursday, May 12, 8-9 AM

Hawks in Flight
Since 1998 Wellfleet Bay has been studying the spring migration of hawks over the Outer Cape. Join Melissa Lowe for a presentation on how to identify these charismatic birds of prey as they fly by, then head to Pilgrim Heights in Truro to see them in person.
Saturday, April 23, 8:30-11:30 AM

Birding by Ear
Birds are nature's musicians. This program will teach the nature lover to appreciate the music of the great outdoors. Science Coordinator Mark Faherty will instruct you on how to listen to birds: how to categorize different sounds, describe calls and songs, and identify locally common bird sounds.
Thursday, April 28, 9-11 AM
