This event will be particularly enjoyable for those who are accompanied by children. It is FREE and for all ages, and is particularly recommended for ages five and up. From 9:30 - 10:30 a.m., join a Locust Grove naturalist for family bird watching. From 10:45 a.m to 1 p.m., ,join the Friends of Locust Grove Nature Center for its first annual "Happy Bird Day!" You will be able to take guided Bluebird walks and try your hand at making a nest - it's harder then you think! You also can do other bird-related crafts and activities, and enjoy bird-related exhibits. And of course, it would not be Happy Bird Day without cake! Reservations ARE required for the 9:30 bird walk (call 301-299-1990) but NOT for the Happy Bird Day celebration later in the morning. Just a reminder: the MOS Conference at the Bolger Center begins with Registration and Field Trip sign-ups at 12 noon that same day -- May 24.
