Ordering Information


  • Trips: The BBC runs trips every weekend, daily trips during spring migration, dedicated pelagic trips, and combined whale watch and pelagic birding trips. Guests are always welcome. All trips are listed in our famous "Blue Book," which is sent to members three times a year. Check out a list of upcoming trips.
  • Discount on BBC Pelagic Trips: Members who participate on BBC sponsored pelagic trips will receive a 15-20% discount off the fee for the boat. With 3 trips generally scheduled each year, members participating in multiple trips could see savings up to $100.
  • Events: We also hold two or more lecture meetings a year, and workshops to hone your birding skills. Club members also take part in Christmas Counts, Biodiversity Days, beach cleanups, and breeding bird censuses.
  • Rare Bird Hotline: The BBC Hotline is the way to find out about current rarities in the area. To sign up for our Hotline, write to Barbara Volkle and tell her you wish to subscribe to the email Hotline.
  • New Friends: Club members enjoy sharing their birding knowledge and helping each other sharpen skills. Meet some of us online on the Officers' page or on some of our Members' Personal Web Pages.
  • Steve Grinley, of the Bird Watcher's Supply and Gift, is offering current BBC members a 10% discount on all books and ABA guides as well as substantial discounts on binoculars, spotting scopes and tripods. Bring in your current BBC Blue Book to the store located on the Route 1 traffic circle in Newburyport. For more information phone Steve at 978-462-0775 or toll-free at 877-289-2974.
