To date we have been working hard at growing our membership by offering open field trips. However, we are now returning to our focus of student-led trips, which are for members only. The Ohio Young Birders Club is unique in its focus on student members and growing their leadership skills, bird expertise, and bonding together over a shared love of birds. Adults not wanting to drop students off and leave trip sites are welcome to stay onsite and enjoy their own bird outings in the vicinity, but only student members will be included on official field trips, unless otherwise noted. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to OYBC Statewide Coordinator Jamie Cunningham at [email protected]. Thank you
