Bird Walk for Kids *at Delano Park*

Ava Lyerly will lead children ages 5-18 on a bird walk at Delano Park.  This free program is for those young people interested in learning about bird watching and identification.

RSVP by emailing naybc2023@gmail.com with the number of people attending and their ages.

 (Moms of families are welcome to bring their younger children and stay behind the group with “littles,” so there is minimal noise, and bird viewing is better.)

 Ava is the President of the North Alabama Young Birders Club in Decatur, Alabama.

Meriwether Lewis’ Scientific Discoveries presented by Brian “Fox” Ellis

Imagine an evening in Philadelphia with some of the greatest scientific minds in Early American history where Merewether Lewis reveals many of the scientific discoveries of the Corps of Discovery for the first time. Encountering grizzly bears and collecting soil samples, capturing prairie dogs, and hunting for antelope, Lewis cataloged 122 new animal species and 178 new plants. In this original performance, Lewis sings the praises of the geology, diverse flora and fauna, and the web of life that binds us to the land. The expedition was first and foremost a scientific expedition and this program brings the scientific process to life.
