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.
Programs and meetings
Unless otherwise noted, evening meetings convene promptly at 7:30 pm at the community hall of Friends Meeting, 739 Horseneck Rd., S. Dartmouth

Wednesday, October 8 -- Jack Lash presents "From One Club to Another."
Jack recently retired as Director of the DCR Ecology Program in the Mass. Dept. of Conservation & Recreation (DCR). Jack's talk and slide show focuses on the Stony Brook Sanctuary Bird Club, to which he has belonged since 1985.
It features slides of birds observed, favorite trip destinations and some handouts (lists) related to club members' favored trips. This might trigger a joint trip between the Stony Brook and the Paskamansett Bird Clubs!
