The Wild Bird Center leads free nature/bird walks. The cost of the walk, as we like to say is "enthusiasm." We provide the rest. We leave the store at 8 a.m., (unless otherwise noted) and carpool to the destination. The walks are designed for birders at all levels, especially families. Dress for the weather and bring binoculars. The Bird Walks are led by Bill Fenimore or other local experts.

The  is a flycatcher.  It ambushes insects that it hawks on the wing, as they fly by its perch.  Pewee sallies from an ambush perch take place throughout the day.  It will return to these favorite perches where they can be observed.

Many birders can tell you the bird they saw that got them "hooked" into birding. The hook bird of the late Roger Tory Peterson, famous bird illustrator, artist and original author of the modern day bird identification field guide was the Northern Flicker.

Snowbasin had yet another great day of music, outdoor activities and this time we had a treat with a rescue bird exhibit by Patti Richards.  Patti had three amazing owls, all of them are under her care and rehabilitation program.  It was almost surreal to be sitting with the fine friends and folks on the deck of Earl's Lodge, listening to a variety of jazz standards and staring eye to eye with a flamulated owl that was the size of a baseball.  

Wolf Mountain started off their summer season of entertainment with a great performance by Tad Calcara & the New Deal Swing Band.  Melissa Pace also accompanied the band as a singer on a number of songs.
