As daylight grows shorter and the air temperatures cool, a change of behavior is noted in the Center’s beaver colony. A slide presentation and introduction of beaver natural history, as well as the ongoing recovery of the beaver pond will be offered. Following the indoor presentation, enjoy a short wander to the pond with naturalist Pat Carney, in hopes of observing the resident beavers reinforcing their lodge and dams or stocking their larder for the coming winter. We’ll also keep a watchful eye for osprey, herons, migrating waterfowl, and other interesting pond life. A limited number of binoculars are available for use.
