CIBS x Selina II!

Yesterday we had a great time teaming up with the Selina II for two special birding trips on Long Island’s East End.

Since CIBS usually doesn’t get out on Greenport waters until the fall, it was exciting to see the area in the middle of summer. We spotted active osprey nests, flocks of terns, and many other birds that have headed south by the time we’re usually here.

A big thank you to the Selina II crew and everyone who came out with us. We had a fantastic day on the water, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

We had such a wonderful time guest starring at Planting Fields Foundation’s Junior Ranger Summer Camp this week!

Our youngest Junior Rangers became birders as they learned how to identify birds by both sight and sound. After our classroom exploration, we headed out on a bird walk to put their new skills to the test and see who we could spot around the Arboretum.

Looking for another opportunity to join us? We’ll also be hosting a kids birding program at Planting Fields on August 19 for children ages 5 to 12. Check out our Happenings Calendar for more information: https://www.cibirdsanctuary.org/happenings-calendar We hope to see you there!

It was such a pleasure collaborating with for a Bird Talk & Walk yesterday! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful afternoon.

Participants explored real bird bioartifacts, discovered the amazing adaptations of some of our local bird species, and then put their new skills to the test on a guided bird walk. It was inspiring to see so many people connect with the birds that call the Water Mill home.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to do it again!

August 19 | Habitat Heroes!
Celebrate your discoveries with a Gratitude Walk, create a Habitat Hero Pledge, take home a native plant seedling, and earn your Junior Habitat Steward certificate.
