SPECIAL EVENT: Winter Bird Walk

**THIS EVENT WAS RESCHEDULED FROM 12/3 TO 1/21 DUE TO WEATHER**

ABOUT THE EVENT:
With the holidays now a distant memory and the promising energy of spring months away, many of us, including our pups, may be feeling the mid-winter blahs. What should be a time of rest has become a time of restlessness. An invigorating and fun nature walk might be just what is needed!

Join us for a winter birding adventure to identify birds through sounds and behaviors at the Riverwalk in Hooksett, NH. This approximately 1.5 mile walk will be led by Kelly Dwyer, naturalist, award-winning environmental educator, and owner of Nature Education Opportunities.

Along the way, we will delve into:

• Fascinating winter adaptations birds undergo to survive our winters
• Tips for identifying our backyard birds and the migrants wintering in NH
• Strategies for successful winter bird feeding

Pack your binoculars and let nature charge up your energy for a few hours.

A special chew treat will be provided as stimulation for dogs during this adventure. If your dog has allergies or chewing limitations, please alert us at woof@goldendognh.com.
