"Being a member of NYSYBC and meeting other young birders nearby has completely expanded my horizons and definitely increased the frequency I go birding." — BVD, age 15

  Give a gift membership to the NYS Young Birders Club!   Open up a whole new world of friendship and fun for your grandkids, kids, and friends between the ages of 10 and 19!  For only $10, you will give them the chance to go to the best birding spots in NY with expert leaders and like-minded friends.  They will also get connected in a safe online community where they can share birding stories, questions, photos, and support. The NYS Young Birders Club organizes teams to the World Series of Birding and the Super Bowl of Birding.  There will be some new initiatives this coming year too, like photography, art, and writing contests. What a wonderful way to strengthen the next generation of birders and give a boost to a great new club!
