Read about the count in the Dartmouth Chronicle (with photos)

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.

  • September 8th 2010
    Jim and Alita Spears signed up for a tour of Costa Rica, only to learn that others in the group had canceled. They had the ultimate small group birding trip with just a driver and a guide, hitting nearly all the birding high points of the country.
  • October 13th 2010
    Bill Gil, one of the club's longtime trip leaders, will discuss ways to entice birds to your yard and garden. He will focus on bird-attracting plants, bird feeders, bird foods, birdhouses and the tricks that have worked best for him on his extensive (and bird-filled) property.
  • November 10th 2010
    Shawn Carey will show and comment on his video "Looking Skyward" A Passion for Hawk Watching. The video examines why people watch hawks, reviews hawk watching's long history and includes a wide range of raptors in flight as well as interviews with Pete Dunne, Bill Clark and others.
