2025 Bird Walks Wednesdays, April 9, 16, 23, 30 and May 7, 14, & 21 - 7:00 am, returning by ~9:15 (but can peel away earlier, if needed). Meet at Town House parking, west end of Main St.,Tamworth Village. All levels of experience welcome. Bring binoculars (but we have some to loan). Short drives/carpools to area bird hotspots. Rain or shine, but not in a deluge. Over the 7 weeks, we'll see (or at least hear) ~80+ species and learn many birds' songs, field markings, and behaviors. This is the best time of year for birding!

The first documented TCC bird walk was in August, 1976, led by Peggy Damon. She started the regular May bird walks in the spring of 1977. Back then, they were publicized by Peg King with help from Betty Steele, key early leaders of the TCC. The local ritual has continued every year since.

You can find a record of of a typical year’s sightings (in this case for 2022) here.
