Marion Natural History Museum224 viewsOn February 4, the Marion Natural History Museum’s afterschool group learned a few things about our most common backyard birds with Carol Molander of the Nasketucket Bird Club. In preparation for the Great Backyard Bird Count (February 13 and February 16), the kids received their own mini-guides showing images of the birds and also listened to their very distinct calls.
