This year’s Bird-a-thon activities at Wildwood were a huge success! Participants were treated to a hands-on bird banding demonstration with Jon Atwood, Bird Conservation Fellow at Mass Audubon and Polly Pattison of The Harris Center. Learn more about Jon’s work at Mass Audubon at The Bobolink Project.
Not only did we have fun with all the Bird-a-thon activities, but we raised over $500 to support Wildwood camp scholarships and sighted more than 50 bird species. Thanks to everyone who participated and donated! We hope you enjoy these photos from the event and that you’ll join us at Wildwood for next year’s Bird-a-thon!
