Whooo is That?
Several types of owls make Long Island their home. January is a particularly good time to look for these magnificent creatures as they are setting up their nesting territories and can be very vocal at this time. Learn about Screech,Great-Horned, Long-Eared, Short-Eared, Snowy Owls who you might hear or see on a winter’s night.We will cover identification by sight and sound, discuss ecology and behavior, learn where to find owls locally and even learn what they eat first hand through dissecting owl pellets. Come have a “hoot” with us and with the owls.

Birding in your backyard…
and other hotspots in Center Moriches
Join staff and volunteers from Kaler’s Pond Audubon Center for this program about our feathered neighbors. There are many great spots to look for birds in and around Center Moriches, even in your backyard! We will identify common birds found in the area, where specifically to find them and get you and your family ready to participate in National Audubon’s Great Backyard Bird Count, an annual event in which volunteers collect information on local birds. This is an exciting way to learn about birds and provide valuable information to scientists as well. Anyone can do it! All you need is an interest and a little bit of knowledge. After the program, we’ll carpool to Kaler’s Pond to find the birds that live there to give you practice identifying them.
All programs will be held at the
