Winter Birds of Effigy Mounds National Monument & Film Festival
Join a park ranger for a program on the winter birds of the park. This family friendly program will start in the auditorium. Attendees will learn basic bird i.d. then make a bird feeder craft to take home. A short bird walk on the Yellow River boardwalk trail will follow the indoor program. Please come dressed for the weather and prepared to walk half a mile on an accessible trail.
The film festival will be held inside the auditorium of the visitor center. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch one or all the films that will be showing. There will also be light refreshments available and an intermission halfway through the event.
