Private Guided Bird & Nature Walks. This service is offered year round. Each walk can be geared toward your expectations and locations. Sanctuary Manager Andy Rzeznikiewicz can take you to your next life bird, to local hot spots, or just use his knowledge to find birds and wildlife for you. Owl walks are very successful in small groups. This is an excellent gift for that outdoors enthusiast who has everything.

Off-Site Programs for Libraries, Senior Centers, Civic Groups & Others. We can bring the wildlife video, bird programs and other presentations to your organization or meeting. Call for more information and to schedule a program.

New Service Offered: Bird Surveys on Private or Public Property. Sanctuary Manager Andy Rzeznikiewicz is available to survey the bird population of your property and provide guidance on how to best manage it for birds.

The best time of year to conduct nesting bird surveys is May and June. Call early to schedule a Bird Survey as the calendar fills up quickly this time of year: 860-928-4948.
