Nebraska Game and Parks Com- mission educators have scheduled interesting and engaging events for the curious in November.
Don't forget to purchase a vehicle park entry permit to enter the state parks, except one is not required to park in the Schramm Education Center parking lot. Get one at OutdoorNebraska. gov or at state park entrances.
Flock to Birds of a Feather on Nov. 4 — Get ready to go birding by participating in the Birds of a Feather program at 9:30 a.m. on select Tues-
days at Eugene T. Mahoney State Park's James Family Conservatory
and Nature Center.
A birding topic is introduced in each session to begin the program, followed by a trip outdoors to the birding area.
On Nov. 4, the topic for the free, bird-related program for all ages will be what birds eat. Participants will discover the diets of common birds in the area then make their own suet cookie or recycled bird feeder to take home for bird feeding.
