Dear All, The next meeting for the Connecticut Young Birders Club takes place at Audubon Greenwich on February 27th 2011. The meeting will help to decide on the calendar of events for the rest of the year (so it’s a great time to come get involved!) as well as dealing with any other business that members wish to look at. The meeting will be followed by a short trip to check out a couple of the local birding sites. The meeting will take place at the Kimberlin Nature Center (directions on the Audubon website http://greenwich.audubon.org/AboutUs_Directions.html ) between 9am and 12pm. The club meeting is open to birders under 19 years of age who live in Connecticut and nearby states and caters to young birders of all levels of skill, experience and interest.

The club organizes monthly field trips to sites throughout Connecticut and in neighboring states (providing transportation, when possible) and holds one or two meetings a year to plan trips and discuss club management. Audubon Greenwich helped launch the club, and staff continue to provide organizational support and guidance. However, the young birders are very much involved in running the club themselves, making decisions regarding activities and trips, communications and membership.
