New meeting place!

PLEASE NOTE: The location of our meetings is changing as of January 2012. The new location is:

Covenant Presbyterian Church

Staunton, VA

This is where North Coalter and North Augusta Streets come together, a few blocks north of Lee High School. The meetings will start at 7:00 P.M., as usual, in the Fellowship Hall.

Monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, from September through April, Meetings usually start at 7:00 p.m. and begin with reports of recent notable bird sightings made by club members. Each meeting includes a featured program given by prominent bird experts, wildlife photographers, conservationists, and others. Guests are always welcome to join us!

Each May we have an outdoor gathering in lieu of the regular meeting, with food and short birding walks. Each December we have a Christmas party at the regular meeting place.

Prior to 2012, the club regularly met in the Lifetime Building / Blue Ridge Community College Education Center, on the campus of Augusta Health in Fishersville, Virginia. (For September 12, 2011, the meeting place was temporarily changed to the Augusta Community Care Building, across the street from the Lifetime Building / Fitness Center.)
