Rice Creek Rambles
Join us for these free naturalist-led walks at Rice Creek. Celebrate spring's smells, sights and sounds at Rice Creek. Birds, buds, blooms, and whatever else catches our attention will be the highlights of these naturalist led walks.
We will start at main building at 11 o'clock on these Saturdays. Come dress for the weather. Those planning to attend are asked to call 315-216-6877 on the morning of the hike to check trail conditions. Since program size is limited, we are not able to accommodate groups. An adult must accompany children.

Ongoing Events
Bird Banding at Rice Creek has resumed this spring. Come and observe birds in hand during the capture, banding and release of resident and migrating songbirds. Call us for a schedule: 315-216-6878.
Winter Bird Study has ended for this year.
Drop by on most Fridays and Saturdays beginning in November and spend a few minutes with our feathered friends. Be a citizen scientist as you count the birds at the Rice Creek feeders from our indoor viewing area. Become familiar with Cornell's Lab of Ornithology's annual survey of birds visiting feeders in the winter. Information about participating in Project FeederWatch at your own feeders will also be available. This is a great project for all ages and the entire family.
