The Montgomery Bird Club (MBC) is one of 16 local chapters of the Maryland Ornithological Society.  Its 300-plus members come from Montgomery and neighboring Maryland counties as well as the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. We hold monthly meetings, September through May, at 7:30 pm on the third Wednesday of each month. The March meeting is replaced by our Annual Social usually held on Friday.

Meetings are held at the Potomac Presbyterian Church, 10301 River Road (1/4 mile past Falls Road in Potomac. From the Beltway take Exit 39 West (River Road/Rte 90) toward Potomac. After crossing Falls Road (Rte 189), continue 1/4 mile to Gary Road on the right. Turn right on Gary Road, then take an immediate left into the church parking lot. Ample parking is usually available in the church's parking lot or in the adjacent elementary school's lot. Meetings are held in Fellowship Hall on the ground level. In addition to a business session, the monthly meetings feature a presentation (usually with slides) on a bird or nature-related subject.  Doors open at 7:00 pm, refreshments at  7:30 pm, meeting begins at 8:00 pm.

The "Chair Men" are in charge of setting up and putting away chairs at the meeting. Give them a hand!
