Tannery Pond hosts 'For the Birds' weekend

NORTH CREEK | The birds are swooping and chirping all over the North Country and Tannery Pond Center is honoring them with a rich variety of programs in June. A "For the Birds" weekend, June 12-13, will include a Paint and Sip event, a birdhouse building workshop, a talk exploring bird mating tactics, a movie about a bird identification contest between three novices, and an information table by the Southern Adirondack Audubon Society. Backdropping all of this throughout June will be an exhibit of painted gourds, carvings, and photographs of birds of every feather in the community center's North Creek lobby. Three artists will be featured: Tim Sauter, Ken Raiser, and Jill Swinton. "'For the Birds' is a new event for us with lots of unique offerings," said Candice Murray, Tannery Pond's executive director. "We hope you can join us and admire our feathered friends." While all events are free (except "Sip and Paint," which is a fundraiser), reservations are highly recommended because seating is limited at some events.
