[CT Birds] Birdcraft Blackburnian/Blackpoll

[Kathy Van Der Aue]

Don't forget International Migratory Bird Day on Saturday at Birdcraft, all 
free!  We will begin at 7:30 with Breakfast With the Birds and will go until 
noon with bird banding demonstrations, live birds of prey, crafts and games 
for kids and we hope, a release of a rehabilitated songbird by someone from 
Wildlife in Crisis.
