New England Bird & Nature Clubs
Join Your Local Bird Club
Joining your local bird club is an excellent way to get started birding, improve your birding skills, meet new people, visit beautiful places, and learn more about birds, conservation, habitat, ecology, environmental justice, citizen science, biodiversity, and climate change.
Every club is different but most are either free to join or less than $50 annually. Most clubs listed here also typically offer free events, talks, and bird walks and many have online resources available to the public.
CONNECTICUT
"Why do I live in Connecticut? As an artist and a writer I need New York for the American Museum of Natural History and Boston for Houghton Mifflin, my publisher. But as a naturalist I prefer to live as far from either as I can manage.’’
Connecticut is a compact destination—you can drive across the state in just two hours. But with almost 450 recorded species you’ll want to pause and get out your binoculars.
The shoreline along Long Island Sound is not to be missed—it’s prime feeding and breeding ground for seabirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl—often in large numbers.
Good bird habitat also include farmland, wetlands, grassland, rocky and sandy islands and forests. Whether you choose shorebirding along coast, woodland birding in northern CT, or eagle watching on the Connecticut River, this state offers many birding delights.
Check out the bird clubs and links below and find yourself a walk to join.

MAINE
"In our modern world nothing may be taken for granted-not even the spring songs that herald the return of the birds."
The largest New England state, Maine (once home to to visionary Rachel Carson) also has the longest coastline making it one of the most exciting seabirding destinations in the lower 48.
Combine that a prime location on the Atlantic flyway, boreal forests, lakes and wild rivers, and you have the ideal destination for a combination of birding and outdoor adventure.
Maine also hosts several legendary birding festivals in different parts of the state—including fesivals with pelagic birding opportunities.Book early!
Maine’s state bird is officially the “chickadee” (which one, however, is your choice).

RHODE ISLAND
I'm concerned about the health of our planet, and I'm very aware that declining bird populations are an early indication of serious ecological problems on the horizon. I also love birds and don't want to see Rachel Carson's warning from "Silent Spring" of a future without birds come to pass.
Small but mighty, Rhode Island’s location on the Atlanic flyway makes it an amazing place for birding with multiple natural “migrant traps” all along the south coast and islands.
The best known of these migrant traps is Block Island which is situated about 10 miles to the southe of the mainland. During fall migration Block Island can be an extremely exicting place as birds migrating through often include speactalar rareties.
Rhode Island birding can be astonishing. Sea ducks gather in large rafts off Sachusett Point in winter. In summer. the coast mashes and beaches draw waders and shorebirds. Listen for saltmarsh sparrow in the wetands.
Given it’s the smallest state, it makes sense that Rhode Island has one bird club—Ocean State Bird Club. But it is an active one.

Local and National Audubon Chapters
Despite sharing a name. not all Audubon organizations are the same. The Audubon societies of Massachusetts. New Hampshire. and Rhode Island are each independent organizations founded before the founding of National Audubon with their own histories. Mass Audubon is the oldest—founded in 1896. In addition to their vital conservation, climate, research, and education work, each of these organizations offers extensive nature programming to their members and to the public as well as thousands of acres of protected wildlife sanctuaries.
National Audubon, founded in 1905, supports chapters in many states and also offers trips, talks, special events, workshops, and camps. They also protect wild spaces and offer nature experiences. In addition to state chapters, the National Audubon Atlantic Flyway Project operates across the East Coast, including the coasal New England states.
Local National Audubon chapters are listed in each state’s listing.
