The HBC is a good source of information for bird watching newcomers as well as for the more experienced birder. Our members range from the casual observer to the avian-possessed.

Members receive a monthly newsletter (September-June) describing regular programs, field trips and bird related events in the area. They have access to the ever-expanding HBC lending library at the Hitchcock Center. And members can join the Rare Bird Alert email list or telephone tree.

Our membership year runs from October through September. Meetings are scheduled September-June; field trips are scheduled throughout the year.

Meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Amherst on the second Monday of each month (unless changed to a different Monday to avoid a holiday). All meetings are free and open to the general public.

If you have questions contact the Club's President, David Gross, Membership Secretary, Susan Emerson, or Newsletter Editor, David Peake Jones.
