COURT HOUSE – The Cape May County 4-H Youth Development Program announced that a new virtual 4-H step club, Bird Nerds, will start in March.
According to a release, the short-term, six-week 4-H club is open to all New Jersey youth in grades 4-6. The 4-H club will meet from 6:30-7:30 p.m. each Wednesday, from March 17-April 21.
4-H step clubs are short-term exploratory programs focused on a particular topic that meet multiple times over the course of several weeks.
The Bird Nerds 4-H Step Club will be taught by Cape May County’s 4-H Program Coordinator Linda Horner and 4-H Virtual Programs Consultant Adehl Schwaderer. Participants will explore the fascinating world of avian friends with youth from all around New Jersey.
Activities will include backyard bird identification, scavenger hunts, nature-themed arts and crafts, exotic feeder and nesting camera observation, do-it-yourself bird feeder creations, along with sessions on “Get to Know Your Raptors” and “Dinosaurs in the Trees.”
Horner stated, “If your child is looking to spend more time exploring the outdoors, learning about nature all around us, and having fun in the bird world – this 4-H club is for them.”

Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
