About this event
One of 8 upcoming events at Japanese Garden At Maymont, and 408 across Richmond.
This time slot is sold out, but others are available. Please click the "Other times" button to select another time slot. Join Maymont for an introduction to Project FeederWatch, a community science program from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that helps track winter bird populations across North America. Learn how to identify common winter birds found in the Richmond area, discover which seeds and feeders attract different species, and explore the tools that make bird identification easier. Whether you maintain a backyard feeder or simply enjoy watching birds from your window or neighborhood park, you'll learn how to contribute meaningful observations to ongoing scientific research. Project FeederWatch runs from November through April, and participation is flexible. You can count birds as often or as little as you'd like, with no prior birding experience required. 90-minute classroom program with opportunities for discussion and questions. Held at The Robins Nature Center. Recommended for adults and children ages 8 and older. Youth ages 8-17 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is free, but advance registration is required. The Robins Nature Center is fully wheelchair accessible. If you have questions, please email [email protected] or call 804-358-7166 ext. 304.
