The Benjamin F. Goss Bird Club was founded to increase knowledge and appreciation of birds through education, research, preservation and conservation, and to provide public awareness of birds and their role in the environment - all of which remains our goal and purpose to this day.
All club events are open to the public. If you can't join in person, our meetings can be attended via Zoom. If you are not a member but would like to join via Zoom, please email BFGoss@gmail.com and we will share the meeting link with you. Meetings begin at 6:45, with the presentation starting at 7:00 and a brief business meeting to follow.
Stay connected with the club by visiting
the Goss Bird Club Facebook Page
for news about the club and area birds, or by joining our Facebook Discussion Group,
where you can share your own sightings, stories, or ask questions of local birding experts.

Waukesha May Count
In place of our normal Sunday meeting, the Goss Bird Club will conduct the annual Waukesha May Bird Count.
The count is conducted as a 24 hour event, from midnight to midnight, finding as many species as possible. ...although most folks
do their birding during the day on Saturday. This count is conducted in a similar manner to our Christmas Bird Count, but rather than
counting individual birds, we simply count the species found within the count circle. It's an excellent opportunity to
build on our birding skills and get to know our fellow birders.
