Program at Ansonia Nature Center to focus on avian world

Henry Lappen

ANSONIA - The Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center will present “A Passion for Birds” with Henry Lappen at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 28.

Lappen uses beautiful masks and a comic portrayal of birds to inspire appreciation and understanding of the avian world.

We’ll learn how birds adapt to their environment, and why they look and act the way they do.

Lappen dances to demonstrate the form and motion of the different species.
Learning some mime skills, we’ll join him, taking on the character of each bird and finding out more about it.
We’ll wear masks and soar as eagles, stalk as herons and swim as puffins.

Additional topics include nest building, preening, and hiding from danger. This is a free program but registration is requested.

For more information call 203-736-1053.

The center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
