Snakes, bugs, birds inhabit nature talks

LAGRANGE, Ind. — The LaGrange County Parks Department will be offering several programs in the near future. Those programs include:

Breakfast with the Birds



Breakfast with the Birds is for anyone who is free one Wednesday morning of each month. The program starts with coffee and doughnuts. Then a talk or discussion is offered by the naturalist.

Participants should take binoculars and enjoy a hike in the woods afterward. There is a recommended donation of $1.

Inspecting insects



At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the public is invited to explore what makes an insect an insect, what kinds of groups they are divided into, their importance in food production and entomophagy.

Inspecting Insects will be repeated at the LaGrange branch of the LaGrange County Library as part of the summer reading program Thursday at 2 p.m.

Massasauga rattlesnakes
