About

The purpose of the Bird Club is to promote interest in the study of wild birds; protect birds and their habitat; and share the joy of birding with others. To these ends, we sponsor these events throughout the year:

  • Our monthly newsletter, The Flyer, is published nine times per year.
  • Monthly programs on 3rd Wednesday nights every month except June, July and December. Our meetings are usually held at the Quarterpath Recreation Center at 202 Quarterpath Rd, Williamsburg. From 6:00-6:30, we meet for light refreshments and socialization. The programs start at 6:30. We feature local and visiting experts who share their travels, research, and expertise with the members..
  • Monthly field trips to “birdy” spots around Tidewater usually the 3rd Saturday morning of most months except July and December.
  • Monthly bird walks on the 4th Saturday of each month. The walk is held at  at New Quarter Park near Queens Lake in York County and begin at 8:00. They are usually two hours long, but people can leave whenever they want. Free and open to the public.
  • Audubon Christmas Bird Count in late December each year.
  • Spring Bird Count in May of each year.
  • Donation of 10 – 12 books about birding to the Williamsburg Regional Library each year.
  • Speakers Bureau of birders to speak to local community groups. Contact us.
  • Scholarships to local youth to attend Nature Camp in Vesuvius, VA during the summer.
  • Scholarships to William & Mary ornithology graduate students to assist their research into bird behavior, populations, and habitat.
