Birders Meeting 2024

Since 1992, birders from around New England have come together to attend Mass Audubon's annual Birders Meeting. We are please to announce that after a three year absence, this year's meeting will once again be held in person at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA! Please join us for:

The Conservation of Migration

Migratory birds travel short and long distances between their breeding and wintering areas, while stopping in between. The feat of migration does not come without risks. North American migratory birds have been declining for decades and are in dire need of conservation. The 2024 Birders Meeting will explore the wonders of bird migration, conservation risks, conservation needs, and the history of how we understand migration. This year's speakers include John Rappole of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, Dan Klem of Muhlenberg University, Freda Guo of Princeton University, and author Rebecca Heisman. We are happy to announce the participation of the Museum of American Bird Art as well!
