Regular monthly meetings with invited speakers and time for socializing are held on the second Thursday of each month, September through June, at 7:00 PM in Ivy Creek Natural Area Education Building. The Ivy Creek Natural Area is located on Earlysville Road, about one-half mile from the intersection of Hydraulic Road and West Rio Road, just before the Reservoir.  Bring your binoculars and enjoy some birding before the meeting.

A different speaker each month will talk about birds or broader topics relating to natural history and the environment. The MBC does not schedule meetings during the summer months of July and August.

2010 - 2011 Speakers Schedule

See our current newsletter for more information about this months meeting.

The December 9, 2010 program of the bird club will be the birds and natural history of South Georgia and the Falkland Islands presented by David Shoch of Charlottesville.

The January 13, 2011 program on barn owls will be given by Lance and Jill Morrow of the Harrisonburg area.

Speaker’s Dinner Site Change
In the interest of trying something a little different, we will have our speaker’s dinners of November 11th and henceforward at La Cocina del Sol Restaurant, on the lower level of
Village Green Shopping Plaza, Commonwealth and Hydraulic Roads, in Charlottesville. Besides
offering excellent food, La Cocina del Sol is conveniently located on the road to Ivy Creek.
In that Ellie and I will be in Ecuador during the November 11th meeting, Ruth Carmines has kindly agreed to serve as hostess for our dinner at La Cocina del Sol. Since this, our first dinner at this restaurant, may increase the usual attendance at these dinners, I would suggest
e- mailing Ruth at rcarmines.is@gmail.com to let her know you are coming.
