Birding field trips are scheduled several times a month to nearby areas. Favorite birding sites include the forest and fields of Shelby Farms Park in east Memphis; the upland and bottomland hardwood forest of Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park; and the sludge ponds, fields and forest of the EARTH Complex. Scheduled trips are subject to change. For more information contact Martha Waldron at Martha.waldron@gmail.com.

Memphis Chapter members participate in Christmas Bird Counts, Breeding Bird Surveys, and a Mid-Winter Eagle Survey. The Chapter has created checklists for all the major birding areas in west Tennessee including state parks, refuges, and wildlife management areas. Over the past 30 years we have hacked bald eagles, osprey, and peregrine falcons. The Memphis Chapter has provided funding and secured grants for the acquisition of major natural areas in west Tennessee including the more than 4,000 acre Wolf River Wildlife Management Area.

Chapter members also participate in several special birding and related events in the region. Data collected by members of the Memphis Chapter were compiled by Martha Waldron into a booklet, Seasonal Occurrences of Shelby County, Tennessee Birds. Click on the link to view or download a copy.
