Connecting People with Birds
The Mount Diablo Bird Alliance is committed to protecting birds and preserving their habitat, and to connecting people of all ages to the fascinating world of birds, with monthly meetings, field trips, classes, and conservation and advocacy programs. The chapter serves the San Francisco Bay Area’s central and eastern Contra Costa County, a bountiful birding territory in which roughly 350 species have been spotted – 150 of them nesting. We welcome everyone interested in any degree of participation, and at all levels of experience.
Spotlight: Birding Trips
Come birding with us! MDBA mounts dozens of Field Trips throughout the year, ranging from easy, accessible strolls around our local parks to longer expeditions to more distant sites, and including some vigorous hikes. On each field trip, one or more leaders guides our group to the best hotspots, in the best season… but the bird-spotting is really a team effort! Please refer to Birding Field Trips page for more information and to register for an upcoming trip. We are also always looking for volunteers to lead field trips!

Join our popular monthly programs. Take part in a bird count, or mix with legislators and fellow birders on Advocacy Day. Attend or lead a field trip. Volunteer for a leadership position or at a conservation event. Whatever your interests, MDAS can help deepen your connection to local birds and birders.
