NHBA and CHBC Field Trips
NHBA and CHBC Field Trips
January 16, 2026 - January 19, 2026 @
The New Hope Bird Alliance and the Chapel Hill Bird Club are joining together to offer all our members an MLK weekend choice of field trips. NHBA will visit Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina, while CHBC will go to the NC Outer Banks. You are invited to sign up for one or the other, as our expert trip leaders help you explore the best birding hot spots in both venues. Email David Anderson at [email protected] for Huntington Beach, or Bo Howes at [email protected] for the Outer Banks. We will sign you up and then send further details. Space is limited, so respond ASAP. We are asking a donation of $75 for either trip. We are offering a couple of scholarships for students or others who need help with funds for the trips. For questions, please contact David Anderson or Bo Howes at the email addresses above. The Huntington Beach trip is full – please contact David if you wish to be on the wait list.
