Last news update: 03 Jan 2022
Due to a resurgence of the covid-19 pandemic, the January 10 monthly meeting will be held online via Zoom; details forthcoming.
Augusta Bird Club members are urged to take precautions, such as wearing masks while inside, getting vaccinated, and following social distancing guidelines. These guidelines also apply during field trips.
It's not too early to think about Nature Camp 2022! Nature Camp will hold four youth sessions from mid-June through mid-August; each session will be two weeks long. Campers who have completed grades 5 through 12 are eligible to attend. You may print and fill out the ABC Scholarship Application, and send it to the address indicated therein.

For the time being, recordings of the Augusta Bird Club's recent online meetings are available to the general public via Zoom; see the link information below. We hope to resume in-person regular monthly meetings in the fall, but that depends on how well the covid-19 pandemic has been contained.
