UMaine Extension 4-H offers new birding club for Maine youth

Participants will learn how to contribute data to Project FeederWatch, a winter survey of birds in locations across North America, and share learning experiences with peers. 

The club is free to join; registration is required. Register anytime on the 4-H Bird Chats webpage at https://extension.umaine.edu/hancock/4h/4h-bird-chats/. Online meeting schedule to be determined by Dec. 1. For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, contact Zabet NeuCollins at 207-667-8212 or zabet.neucollins@maine.edu.
