Family Bird Day

Come out and experience local birds! Saint Paul is home to a lot of shyer wildlife, but you’ve probably seen and heard birds all around town.

Winter is a great time to learn about birds in Minnesota: There are fewer species around and fewer leaves to block your view. Join us for a bird hike and use binoculars to spot our feathered neighbors. Practice identifying birds with helpful staff and discover a new way to enjoy being outside!

Make a bird feeder to take home so you can check out what birds are hanging out in your neighborhood!

Pre-registration required. Register Here!

Saturday March 4 | 10:00am-12:00pm | All Ages | $5
Como Streetcar Station, 1224 Lexington Pkwy N, Saint Paul, MN 55117
