Birdcraft Family Days – The Magic Merlin

Saturday, May 17, 2025
Drop in from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Merlins are fierce little falcons that were known in medieval times as the hunting companion of noblewomen. Today, Merlin populations have largely recovered from twentieth-century declines, thanks to a ban on the pesticide DDT and their ability to adapt to life around towns and cities. Join us to build and decorate your own recycled wood Merlin model to take home. For kids up to 10 years accompanied by a participating adult.
