Native New Hampshire Birds Exhibit
2024-10-23 11:00 - 17:00, 2024-10-24 11:00 - 17:00, 2024-10-25 11:00 - 17:00, 2024-10-26 11:00 - 17:00 | McLane Center, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord, NH, 03301, United States
“Native New Hampshire Birds” Exhibit: September 12-November 2
Artist Shannon Bender has enjoyed creating from a young age. The journey for this series started last year. She wanted to create a theme that Upper Valley residents could relate to. Being in an area with so many that take part in bird watching with a variation of birds, she thought, “What a joy for people to see some of the many species that we have here in a painting series.”
In addition, the exhibition displays the different characteristics of each bird. Each original piece takes anywhere between 17-65 hours of strategic feather painting and many layers of acrylic which bring the painting to its final resting state.

Birding Outing at John Brockway Nature Preserve
2024-10-25 08:00 - 09:30 | Brockway Nature Preserve, Farrington Corner Road, Hopkinton, NH, United States
Join NH Audubon for a birding outing along the trails at the John Brockway Nature Preserve in Hopkinton, NH. We will meet in the parking lot on Farrington Corner Road.
This is an informal birding outing that begins at the parking lot and explores the trails with local birder and NH Audubon volunteer (and former wildlife biologist), Mark Suomala. All ages and skill levels of birders are welcome. If you are new to birding, come and learn the basics! If you are an avid birder, come to learn new techniques, network with other birders, or share your expertise with the group.
The Brockway Preserve offers a trail system through a wooded area, running along a pond and ending near a beaver meadow. Potential species will include various migratory waterfowl, such as wood ducks, sparrows, such as song sparrows, and other woodland birds of New Hampshire.
This is a free event. Binocular rental is provided. Please dress for the weather, with sturdy shoes. Due to the small size of the parking lot, carpooling is encouraged. Expect to walk between 1-2 miles over mostly flat, but uneven trails through wooded terrain. Trails may be soggy or muddy in the rainy season. Dogs are not allowed on this walk.
