Her small hands trembled slightly as the bird bander gently placed the Black-capped Chickadee in her open palms. She felt the bird's fragile heartbeat and smiled.
“Go on,” he whispered. She looked up, wide-eyed. “Do you think it will come back?” “Maybe,” he replied. “Birds remember safe places.” She released her breath—and the bird. It paused in the summer air, then lifted into the sky. She watched its wings carry it over the trees and back to the wild. Magical moments like these, where people connect with nature and create lifelong memories, happen at Buffalo Audubon’s Beaver Meadow Nature Center. These experiences influence lives forever. As a supporter, we're confident you have similar core memories from time spent outdoors. Please help ensure they continue for others. |
We're excited to share some of our completed nature center renovations, but you should plan to visit Beaver Meadow soon because they're even better in person.
(We can't wait to see you!)
