The club typically holds multiple birding outings each month, detailed below. Non-members are always welcome on GCBC outings. We also offer occasional workshops and social gatherings. Outings and events are typically free-of-charge; any exceptions will be clearly identified. At the bottom of the page, we also list some events scheduled by other organizations which may be of interest to our members.
We try to organize carpooling as frequently as possible. If you ride along with someone, please consider contributing approximately $0.10 per mile towards gas.
As safety concerns related to the Pandemic have waned, the GCBC Board has instituted the following outing guidelines.
To reiterate, trip leaders may choose to limit groups to small numbers and restrictive protocols.
Each month we offer two separate outings at Conestee Nature Preserve; one longer than the other. Trip leaders for each outing will be announced by email to our membership prior to each outing, along with contact information to sign up. If you are not a member and would like to participate, please email Carson Johnson.

As many of the outings are limited to a certain number of participants, registration is required for all events. Members will receive a reminder prior to each event with registration instructions. If you are not a member, go to our Membership Page or email Carson Johnson for registration instructions.
To provide more opportunities for birding, we encourage our members to invite others on impromptu outings. For these outings, please adhere to the guidelines detailed at the top of this page.
For our more experienced birders: If you are going birding and would be willing to have guests, please send a notice to the club indicating when, where, and how many people you welcome.
For our less experienced birders: If you want to go birding, please send a notice to the club indicating when you would like to go, and hopefully someone will reach out to you.
