The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent and in Hawaii. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds. Come to the Sanctuary between 11:00am – 12:00pm on any or all days to help survey the birds and learn how you can do it from home!

Owls, the stealth, silent hunters of the night, have become an integral part of myths, legends, and even popular entertainment. Unfortunately, they are often portrayed as bad omens, creepy haunters of old buildings and cemeteries, or evil denizens of the dark. However, they are actually fascinating creatures. Join us for a live owl presentation to discover the lives of owls in your neighborhood. Then venture outside to hear the calls of Great Horned and Eastern Screech Owls. This is a popular program, so register early!

With any luck, warmer weather and nesting season are right around the corner, and we are looking for volunteers to help build homes for North America's smallest falcons, American Kestrels. These nest boxes will later be placed in open areas across Long Island to provide homes for families of Kestrels. This morning activity will include an introduction with a live Kestrel, followed by nest box building. Great for anyone looking to help out their feathered friends!
Please call ahead to confirm your volunteer position for this day and bring a drill if you have one!
