We are open tomorrow/Friday, but we are doing Science in Action with DMNS - Broadcasting live into classrooms around the country. Lights! Camera! Action! And lots of people. A great education program, but not such a good day to get close up and personal with the birds. For a last chance at that for this fall, join us over the weekend. Open Saturday and Sunday and then we are done for the season!
