Ready to become an early bird for a day? Imagine waking up to the sounds of spring and the promise of a delicious breakfast – that’s what “Breakfast with the Birds” is all about! Warming temperatures, lengthening days, and flowering plants signal the return of colorful, musical, migratory birds, such as Rufous Hummingbirds and Orange-crowned Warblers. Having quietly spent the winter in the forests of IslandWood, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Hermit Thrushes can be heard singing their melodic songs. It’s a birder’s paradise!

But first, we’ll fuel up! We’re talking homemade bagels, spreads, coffee…the whole works! You can enjoy your feast indoors or soak up the sun at a picnic table. We’ll join our expert guide, IslandWood docent and top-notch birder, Mark Salvadalena.

Mark is well-known in this community for his ornithological skills, as well as a gentle and compassionate interpretive style. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll pick up awesome tips and explore stunning habitats. Think wetlands, forests, and everything in between! It’s the perfect way to experience the magic of spring and the joy of birding.
