Previous Field Trips

Below are field trip results by calendar year. If there is no link, a trip report is not available.

Since the Howard County Bird Club was founded in 1972, field trips have been a vital part of the club’s activities. These trips are an ideal way for both the beginner and the more experienced observer to learn and to share knowledge in an informal atmosphere. From the club’s founding, the club began to schedule field trips for birding and other aspects of natural history. Trip leaders recorded the birds seen on the trips. Soon a notebook was passed from leader to leader to ensure a permanent record. The original book was lost in 1979, but some of the trip leaders continued to make and retain written records of the trips. Then around 1990, Bonnie Ott got one of those new electronic birding database programs and entered all of the Howard County Bird Club field trips for which she could find material. Unfortunately, many of the records from those early years were no longer available, but her efforts were the foundation for the following step. Bonnie’s records and the field trips scheduled in The Goldfinch have been included in the material below. Dates for trips listed in the newsletter have been corrected and additional trips known to have occurred have been included if such information is available. Creation of a web page made the results of the club’s field trips available to a wider audience; trip leaders send the results by email, and the results are posted as soon as the information is formatted. Starting with the 2019 trips, we began using a responsive format. (All of the earlier trips are PDFs.)
