December 3 – Winter Visitors and Winter Challenges
In winter when many birds have left for tropical vacations, ducks and other water birds come to Seward Park from the north; also juncos and varied thrushes come down from the mountains. We’ll look for these visitors and contemplate how they and other park residents spend their winters. We can also practice a little winter twig botany and look for any fruits persisting through the winter.
