DERBY - The Kellogg Environmental Center staff will help science and art come together from 1-2:30 p.m. Oct. 9 in this outdoor, creative education program about birds. 

As participants explore the relationship between form and function, they’ll learn about the adaptations that make birds so successful in survival. 

After a staff-led presentation including a drawing tutorial, participants will be able to use birds from the Center’s taxidermy collection as models to create their own drawings. 

All abilities and skill levels are welcome. Drawing materials will be provided. 

Participants may stay longer if they wish to continue working on their drawings.

Admission is free and registration is required.
