The Carolina Bird Club holds general meetings three times a year, in mid-winter, spring, and fall.
The winter meeting is usually held in late January or early February,
the spring meeting in late April or early May, and the
fall meeting in late September or early October.
The main focus of the meetings is birding, thus the meeting location
is rotated among good birding locations in the three regions of the club:
eastern and western North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Meetings also feature evening programs and social hours on Friday and Saturday.
Everyone interested in birds of the Carolinas is
welcome at our general meetings, whether members of the Carolina Bird Club or not;
however the meeting registration fee for non-members is slightly higher.
Specifics about upcoming meetings are provided via the Newsletter sent to all members,
and are also provided on this web site.
Upcoming meetings
Dates and locations of future meetings are subject to change until
final meeting plans are published in the CBC Newsletter.
Atlantic Beach, NC Winter Meeting 2010:
Lena Gallitano and John Fussell put together another outstanding meeting, covering all the bases except weather. Saturday field trips were largely disrupted by high winds, cold rain, and a winter weather advisory, declared the “worst weather ever for a CBC meeting”. Hundreds of Razorbills flying past a sheltered observation point at the hotel helped make up for it, and for the weekend an excellent total of 159 species were observed. Presentations by Rodney Kemp and Lynn Barber, along with an excellent buffet dinner, rounded out the weekend.
Hickory, NC Fall Meeting
A good turnout of birders from the Carolinas and beyond weathered a rainy weekend in the
foothills and mountains, and observed 118 bird species.
Clemson Spring Meeting:
After a long, cold winter, the promise of migrant and returning summer resident neotropical birds
brought CBC members to the Upstate of South Carolina to observe some of the nearly three dozen warbler
species that breed or pass though the southern Blue Ridge Mountains each year.
The bird list for this meeting numbered
139 species.
