New Jersey may be known as a state with the most people per square mile in the US, but it also ranks an incredible 12^th  place for bird diversity. It holds some of the most important migration points in the Eastern US. Places such as Cape May, Barnegat Bay, Old Mine Road in Warren and Sussex Counties, and other hotspots make this one of the best states for birding. It also hosts the famous World Series of Birding, where hundreds of birders come from around the world for the Garden State’s diverse birds.

Unfortunately, the young birders scattered throughout this birdy state have not united into an organized group that will help in raising New Jersey’s next generation of birders and ornithologists.  The newly formed New Jersey Young Birders Club wishes to change that.  Our club has trips all over the state and has interactive meetings to help its members learn more about birds and conservation.
