Membership Benefits
  1. DES MOINES AUDUBON PROGRAMS
    All regular evening programs are held on the third Tuesday of the month from October through April and are held in the lower level of Westminster Presbyterian Church, which is located at the corner of Beaver and Franklin Avenues in Des Moines. Parking is available on the north and west sides of the church and an elevator can be accessed at the west door. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. with a short business meeting followed by the program.
    For our traditional potluck picnics in May and September, we gather at 5:30 p.m. for birding and begin the picnic at 6:30 p.m. Bring a main dish, salad, and/or dessert to share and your own table service. Locations vary each year.
    Although this is the usual schedule for programs and meetings, occasionally a date might be changed due to a conflict at the church or with another event.
  2. DES MOINES AUDUBON FIELD TRIPS
    Field trips are held on the second Saturday of each month except July and December. Times and locations vary depending on the time of the year. Bring binoculars if you have them, wear suitable shoes or boots for walking in natural areas and dress according to weather conditions. Most participants bring a beverage and a snack to share. All levels of bird watchers are encouraged to attend.
    In December, a Christmas Bird Count is held instead of the monthly field trip. Dates vary so check with this website for information.
    Although this is the usual schedule for field trips, occasionally a date might be changed due to a conflict with another event.
  3. DES MOINES AUDUBON NEWSLETTER
    The Des Moines Audubon newsletter, The Warbler, is published each month except July. Members receive a copy of this newsletter with information about programs and field trips, in addition to conservation news and other bird-related activities.
