For fish in the Chesapeake Bay, it’s a fish eat fish world - but they can't forget about the predators from above! From eagles and osprey - to cormorants, pelicans, and heron - birds flock to the water to hunt and feast. This Discovery Lab will be all about birds! Anna Caputo, Marine Education Specialist at the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia (CBNERR-VA), will talk about the importance of birds in the Chesapeake Bay region. See you there!

Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by CBNERR-VA at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.
