How to Join the Brooklyn Bird Club

Updated

The Brooklyn Bird Club (brooklynbirdclub.org) is a New York City birding organization that, according to its site, is celebrating 100 years. The homepage includes a "JOIN US" entry point, which is where you should start if you want to become a member. The site itself does not spell out the full membership process, dues, or application form in the material available, so treat the steps below as a guide to finding the current details rather than a confirmed procedure.

Start with the "JOIN US" link

The clearest signal on the homepage is the JOIN US heading. That is the club's own pointer to membership information. Click it first — it should lead to whatever the club currently uses for sign-ups, whether that is a form, a page of instructions, or a contact address.

If the link does not resolve to a clear page, look for a membership or contact option in the site's main navigation or footer, which is where clubs typically keep this information.

What joining typically involves

Based on how bird clubs generally operate, and on the club's own framing, expect the process to include:

  • An application or sign-up step — a form or an email expressing interest.
  • A possible membership fee — dues are common for clubs of this kind. The site material does not state an amount, so confirm the current figure directly with the club rather than assuming it is free.
  • Confirmation — you would normally receive a reply or a welcome notice once your membership is processed.

Because the available page evidence does not include the actual membership page, do not rely on any specific dollar amount or deadline you might see elsewhere. Check the JOIN US page or contact the club for the authoritative details.

What members get

The club's news section shows the kind of activity membership connects you to. A current example is the 2026 Brooklyn Bird Club Birdathon, announced for Saturday, May 9, 2026, tied to World Migratory Bird Day. The Birdathon asks birders to form teams of up to six members and count birds.

That item illustrates the general pattern: members hear about organized counts, walks, and club news. If you join, expect activity notices, participation in birding outings, and updates through the club's news channel.

A practical way to proceed

  1. Go to brooklynbirdclub.org.
  2. Find and open the JOIN US link.
  3. Follow whatever sign-up or contact method it provides.
  4. If dues or dates are unclear, ask the club directly before paying anything.
  5. Once in, watch the News section for events like the Birdathon.

If you cannot find the details

Membership terms, fees, and meeting schedules change and are not fully documented in the material available here. The reliable move is to use the club's own JOIN US route or contact them through the site. That way you get current information instead of an outdated figure.
