Birds of a
Feather at January Park P.A.L.S.
Darke County Park District invites children in kindergarten through 2nd
grade to join them on January 14th from 10am to 12pm at the Shawnee
Prairie Nature Center to explore birds during Park P.A.L.S! Who is
gathered at the Nature Center’s warm and cozy bird window this winter?
Are they here year round, or do they migrate? Learn the answers to this
and more as students play games and do a craft while watching our
feathered friends feast from the feeders.
Park P.A.L.S. is a series of monthly programs designed for students of
this age group who are interested in nature. P.A.L.S. stands for
Practicing And Learning Stewardship, and its mission is to develop
future earth stewards through meaningful educational opportunities and
hands-on experiences in the natural world. A fee of $3 is charged for
the program, and registration is required. For any questions about the
Park P.A.L.S. program or any other park district programs or to
register for the January class, please call the Nature Center at (937)
548-0165.
Photo: The Red-bellied Woodpecker is often mistakenly called the
“Red-headed” Woodpecker, but while the Red-bellied has a patch of red
on its head, the Red-headed Woodpecker’s whole head is red.
