 EDUCATION
The Observatory offers a variety of activities and programs about birds
and the ecology of the Whitefish Point area. Our educational goal is to
promote awareness and appreciation of the environment and, in particular,
the relationship of birds to the environment. Opportunities include bird
walks, in-the-hand bird programs, tours, and workshops, as well as classes
for individuals, schools, and groups. WPBO is actively expanding its
educational outreach to schools, natural history clubs, and visitors to
Whitefish Point. Please contact WPBO if you are interested in a program
for your organization.
The following programs are offered by WPBO
during our research seasons and at other
times as staffing levels permit.
-
Guided walks and banding demonstrations are
offered for visitors during weekends and
for groups by special arrangement at any
time.
-
Evening Owl Flight - the ecology of owls
is discussed while waiting for owls to begin
their late evening flights from the woods
below the hawk dune.
-
Nocturnal Raptors Close Up - when owls from
the previous night's banding are available
in the morning, they are displayed in-hand
with a discussion of their ecology.
Please contact WPBO for further information
on these and other programs. Also, you may
wish to call ahead to confirm the availability
of our educational programs.
