January Nature Seekers 4 H Meeting

When we were at Grandview in December for our STEM co-op, one of the ladies that presents programs mentioned that she had a fun program that taught bird calls.  In January it is too unpredictable to have meetings outside and Game and Fish always puts on great programs for us so I asked if they could come for our January meeting.  The E H House where we usually hold our meetings was unavailable but my church is great about allowing us to use the fellowship hall when we need to. 

It was a fun program.  We were introduced to several Arkansas birds and got to listen to their calls. Some of them I had never heard before and I will not forget!  After learning the different calls we played bird call Bingo.

Each of the participants also earned a beginner patch for participating in the Watchable Wildlife Program from Game and Fish.  It is a new program they are starting that children and adults can do that for different programs they attend and activities they do they earn different levels of patches and after so many levels get a vest or bag to put them on.
