Join us as we learn about the birds seen by Lewis and Clark on their trip up and down the Missouri . We will observe birds coming to feeders at the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center , begin a basic bird list and compare species seen in 1804 to species now. Learn how to identify birds using track replicas, stamps, binoculars and sounds. Participants will “create a bird” using craft materials and use camouflage to place their “birds” in a natural setting.

 
Directions: : Leave I-29 at Exit 151 and proceed 4 miles north on Iowa Hwy 12. Follow the signs to Stone State Park and the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center . The Nature Center ’s entrance is on the east side of Hwy 12.
