CWC Guest Speaker Series: How Birds Survive Winter

The CWC Guest Speaker Series is a monthly presentation about topics ranging from environmental conservation to outdoor recreation and everything in between.

Birds have much more than warm downy feathers to ward off the cold temperatures and long nights of winter. Many species wintering in northern climates have a variety of adaptations enabling them to survive weather extremes, reduced food supplies, shorter days and competition. CNC Interpretive Naturalist Jeanne Henderson will present this indoor program and share some of these fascinating adaptations.
