Paskamansett Bird Club based in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, was established in 1963 for the purpose of bringing people together who have the utmost fascination and appreciation for nature's crown jewels, birds. Members are always willing to share their knowledge to help beginning birders enjoy their newly found hobby. We have many bird walks that take us to some of the most beautiful areas in Southern New England. We conduct monthly meetings with distinguished guest speakers who give a wealth of information on birding and other nature related subjects, often accompanied by wonderful slide presentations. The enthusiasm and participation of our club members result in many lifelong friendships.

Next Meeting:
Jan. 13: Members Night
Three speakers are scheduled, with material from both far and near. Nancy Fraze will slow slides of her trip to Queen Elizabeth Park in Uganda, emphasizing especially the concentration in the Kazinga channel, where there were many shore birds along with water buffalo. Some shots of the local gorillas will also be included. In contrast, Carolyn Longworth will show pictures of local Massachusetts birds, mostly from the Fairhaven area. Her presentation will include a photo now in use by the Cornell Ornithology Lab as part of its “Birds of North America,” a comprehensive website covering birds throughout the continent.
David Cole will be showing a video about the recovery program for the Kirtland's Warbler, an endangered species that breeds only in the Jack Pine woodlands of northern Michigan. As a child, David spent his summers in this area, so he knows it well; it has now become a focal point for birding trips by Mass Audubon and others. He will display materials about the ongoing recovery program gathered on a recent visit.
Refreshments will be served after the presentations
