Write a commentOn Sunday, May 22nd at 2 p.m., come Meet the Web Feet at the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center. The spring skies and water echo with noise and activity as ducks, geese, herons, and other birds return to their natal ponds to court and raise their young.
Participants will enjoy an indoor slide presentation on ducks and other water bird residents of the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center’s ponds, followed by a walk to the beaver pond to perhaps see a Wood Duck or Merganser hen with ducklings or hear an American Bittern calling. While the Center does have a few pairs of binoculars to borrow, everyone is encouraged to bring their own.
The program fee is only $4.00 fee per person, or $12.00 per family, and children under the age of 3 are free. The Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is located at 748 State Route 183 in eastern Oswego County, between Routes 13 and 69 near Williamstown.
