For the birds

Birds and brunch, birds and art history, birds and preschoolers, birds, birds, birds. This month's offerings at the Ogden Nature Center include a brunch on Saturday, as local wildlife artist Debbie Goodman gives a slideshow on birds and art history. Cost is $14 and $16.

On Monday (and later in the month as well) a series of children's classes focus on Fair Feathered Friends. Cost is $3. Entries in the 15th annual handcrafted Birdhouse Competition are due at the end of the month.

Then, too, March at the Ogden Nature Center includes a book club discussion of "Animal, Vegetable and Miracle," by Barbara Kingsolver. And an Earth Day Art Poster Contest is coming up in early April.
