The Monticello Bird Club, located in Charlottesville, VA is an informal group of about 150 people who join together to share their enthusiasm for birds.


Background

The group held its first meeting in February 1986. [1]

The club holds monthly meetings, as well as field trips to to local birding hotspots. Their meetings and field trips are always open to the public without charge. If you want to learn more about how to identify birds, their behavior and their life histories, or if you just want to talk to others with similar interests, join the group on a field trip or at a meeting.

The Monticello Bird Club will hold the monthly meetings at 7:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month, September through June. The location is the Education Building at Ivy Creek Natural Area, familiar to many as the location of the First Saturday Bird Walks. The Ivy Creek Natural Area is on Earlysville Road about a half mile from the intersection of Hydraulic Road, just before the reservoir. Plenty of parking, compatible natural setting, easy access. See you there at future meetings!

Scholarship

The group offers a scholarship for people to enroll in an ornithology course at Piedmont Virginia Community College. [2]
