The MDI Bird Club is a membership of people who have identified at least
100 species of birds on Mount Desert Island (MDI). Members currently have
two levels of participation: those people who have identified at least 100
species of birds from MDI, and those who have identified at least 200 species.
Members will receive one of the above embroidered patches, appropriate for
their membership level, along with the
MDI Bird Club Annual, the newsletter
of the MDI Bird Club.

To become a member, please follow these simple steps:

  1. Submit a copy of the Checklist of the Birds of Mount Desert Island,
    listing the date and location of the species you have observed. All
    species must have been observed on, or from, MDI. Additional written
    notes — e.g., numbers of individuals observed, names of other
    observers, photos, written notes, etc. — are welcomed, especially for
    those species listed as rare, very rare, casual, or accidental. If the
    species is not on the Checklist, further documentation and/or evidence
    of your observation is required (for further details, please contact Rich
    MacDonald). NOTE: The Checklist can be purchased from The
    Natural History Center, or it may be downloaded for free from this
    website. For details, please view the Publications & Checklists page.
  2. Include a check for $5.00, payable to The Natural History Center, for
    each patch requested. This fee includes life membership in the MDI Bird
    Club, entitles the member to one patch, and adds your name to the
    Club mailing list. Club members will receive the MDI Bird Club Annual
    each February. The Annual serves as a member forum and lists
    member totals. The list will also be posted on the Publications &
    Checklists page of The Natural History Center website. Once you are
    a member, feel free to update your MDI bird tally. For those without
    Internet access, or people who wish to receive the annual notice via U.
    S. Mail, please add $25 to your life membership to cover processing
    and mailing.
  3. Send your Checklist and check or money order, payable to The
    Natural History Center, to:
