Alan Devoe Bird Club Founded in 1957, our club promotes the conservation of natural resources and the enjoyment & protection of birds, flora, and fauna in Columbia County, NY.

Founded in 1957, our club promotes the conservation of natural resources and the enjoyment and protection of birds, flora, and fauna. We’re an organization of Columbia County residents and interested parties with a common bond—love of nature and fascination with its wildlife. Some of us are experts in these fields, others just love the outdoors. We offer the opportunity to take part in our many activities: bird walks, lectures, contributing to our monthly newsletter, and helping maintain our Sanctuary.

Thanks to SkyHigh Farm, Copake Grange, ADBC and the over 30 folks who turned out this morning in the cold rain.

We spent two hours walking the fields, learning about the Farm’s land management and listening to more birds than we saw. We did manage to see quite a few Bobolinks which is a testament to the good habitat and land stewardship.

Club member and illustrator Eric Losh shared his passion for drawing & birding with an enthusiastic group of birders-artists. The classroom discussion was followed by a walk on the Churchtown Dairy property where participants applied their skills.
