The Hampshire Bird Club was founded in 1984 after a group of birders gathered to observe a Great Gray Owl in a wintry field in Hadley, Massachusetts. Amidst the excitement, they realized that birders abounded in the area but needed an organization to bring them together. Our purpose is to help people enjoy birding, and to assist them in learning about birds, bird-watching, and bird habitats and to support the conservation of birds and bird habitats.

We conduct monthly programs where a nationally and even internationally renowned birder / ornithologist visits us, teaching us about bird ID or presenting their birding adventures. Additionally, our education committee presents bird-related educational programs specifically designed to interest beginner birders. We intend to post these recorded presentations on this channel.
