Our feathered friends will be at center stage at Hobbs State Park – Conservation Area during our new program series: Birds and Breakfast. Come enjoy a cup of coffee or juice and have breakfast with the birds. Have you ever seen all the feathers of a goldfinch or chickadee or other song bird up close? Well this is your chance. You will witness this unique scientific process up-close, and then help us release the birds back into the wild.
From 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. for four Saturdays the University of Arkansas will be catching, banding, measuring and recording data on these birds, and then releasing them back into the wild. Learn about how this research has taught us many things we now know about birds and see it in action.
Breakfast sponsored by Harps.
