Workshop: Winter Survival - Free
Saturday, Jan 25, 2025 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Workshop is at Patrick Ranch - Pat's Barn (Map)
Description
Winter is here and in many parts of the world birds have migrated to warmer climates. But many birds don't migrate and instead face the hazards of winter weather. Some non-migrants even spend all winter in the Arctic or Antarctic. Even birds that spend the winter in the California Valley, having escaped the arctic, face cold weather here. How do they survive? It's not all feathers.
Please note this is a free event, but you must register online or in person. Workshops take place in the Vintage Iron Museum with limited heat so please bring a blanket and/or dress in layers to keep comfortable.
