Locally owned and operated by Jeannette and Derek Lovitch, The Wild Bird Center of Yarmouth is part of a nationwide franchise, the Wild Bird Centers of America, Inc. Jeannette and Derek have developed careers working with birds as biologists and naturalists. Now, they bring their knowledge and passion for birds to Yarmouth to share with everyone.

FREE Bird Walks Every Saturday Morning.

Geared towards birders of all skill levels, free, guided walks are offered every Saturday morning at 8:00 am. Walks meet at the Wild Bird Center of Yarmouth and usually involve a short car-pool trip to a local site of seasonal interest. Bring your binoculars, or borrow a pair of ours, and come on out to see some birds and learn about their habits!
