Cancelled--Talking with Birds

Deepen your connection to birds by slowing down, observing and putting yourself in the world of the birds. This program moves birders from listing to deep listening and aims to develop empathy and respect for the wildlife around through the use of simple, powerful techniques. Based on the popular online course of the same name, we think you'll find "Talking with Birds" a grounding, refreshing take on wildlife awareness & appreciation. All are welcome. Maximum group size is 10 people. The Wells Reserve is co-hosting this program with partner York County Audubon.

The Wells Reserve operates in accordance with orders from the Governor of Maine and instructions from the Maine Center for Disease Control. Reserve leadership will monitor, evaluate, and adapt as needed to ensure all programs operate safely and effectively.

Please have a mask on hand if you are not vaccinated and/or feel safer being masked in a group setting.
