Please come and join us
for a day full of entertainment!
|
How close have you gotten to a bird?
Come
and join us at the Long Point Bird Banding Station at the end of Monagan
Road between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM where you can see Master Bander, Tom Bartlett,
and his assistants netting, banding, measuring and recording bird species and
relevant data. You will have an opportunity to “adopt a bird” and may even get
to touch or release a bird. Make sure you bring the little ones, as this is a
very popular event with children. |
|
Are you new to birding?
Whether an experience or new
birder, assemble
at a location to be determined to meet with our bird guide. We
will be looking for fall migrants at one of the islands nature preserves. |
|
Would you like to learn more about trees?
Come
to the Kelleys Island State Park fisherman’s parking lot at the
north end of Division Street at 1:00 PM to meet Mike Monnett, our
Kelleys Island State Park Manager. He will lead you on a walk and share
his knowledge of the local trees and vegetation. Once again this Tree
Identification walk is rated easy to medium. |
