Event to help welcome feathered friends back to Brighton Beach

  • 2020-03-03
Each spring, the birds who make the Brighton Beach area their summer residence return from their homes in the south. Wyckoff House Museum wants to give them a warm welcome, and local families can join in the activity.

The museum has planned a special day for families that will encourage them to come out and explore all it has to offer. While they do, they will learn about both the area’s human and natural history, and there will be an assortment of hands-on activities for all the visitors to enjoy.

The guests at the celebration can pay a visit to the farmhouse’s flower beds, and they can also make a bird feeder to give their feathered friends a meal after their long journey north., There will also be a scavenger hunt, games, seasonal stories, and other fun for all ages. Admission is free, and a full schedule for the day can be found on the event’s online listing.

Offering kids and parents a chance to create a handmade project like this can be a lot of fun, and it can also be a learning opportunity for those who participate. A printing services company is able to prepare basic field guides so the kids can identify the birds who stop by their feeder.

Wyckoff House Museum has invited one and all to spring in for this free family celebration on April 18.
