Status of Bird Club Events

All bird walks and field trips are cancelled until further notice because of the coronavirus situation. The bird club board is monitoring the situation and will decide when we should resume activities.

Online meetings for bird club members will be available starting September 8. Pre-registration is required. See Calendar for details.

Christmas Bird Counts are tentatively scheduled for Sunday, December 20 (Jug Bay CBC) and Friday, January 1 (Bowie CBC). These dates and other details will be confirmed after November 15, in accordance with National Audubon guidelines.

Please do not bird with others if you feel unwell or know that you have been exposed to the virus. We are urging birders to take up solo or family birding for the duration of the virus crisis.

Before you go birding, call or check the website for any place you plan to visit, to make sure they are open and what restrictions may be in place. The outdoor areas at most of the parks and preserves in our county are open, but most indoor facilities, including restrooms, are still closed.
