Club Background and Information
The Tehachapi Mountains Birding Club, Tehachapi,
California, was organized as an independent birding club and a
not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, in October, 1998. All
donations are tax deductible, greatly appreciated,
and will be immediately put to good
use supporting the club's programs.
The club is a volunteer-run organization founded
to promote the enjoyment of birding, increase general knowledge
about birds of the Tehachapi Mountains and to enjoy the fellowship
of other birders. Located between central California's Sierra
Nevada range to the north and the
Tehachapi range to the west, the Tehachapi
Pass is used as a common flyway for hundreds
of migrating bird
species and hosts over
100 breeding species. Members come from Tehachapi, Cummings Valley,
Bear Valley Springs, Stallion Springs, Hart Flat and other
nearby communities. (Where is this? - Google Map)
Whether you’re noticing birds in your
backyard for the first time or already have
an extensive lifelist, TMBC has something
for you. Membership is a great way to
explore significant birdlife habitat areas in
Central California, learn more about
birding and wildlife biology, and to meet
others with similar interests. Please join us at our regular monthly meetings or on a field trip. View our Schedule page for details of up-coming events.
Annual membership is $24 per person, $30
per family, or $18 per high school student. Here's a printable membership
application in pdf format - 81k.
Monthly meetings
provide the opportunity to share birding knowledge, report
sightings, and to learn from expert guest speakers. General
club meetings are held monthly and are open to all members
of the community, not just TMBC members. We meet the second
Tuesday of the month at 7PM at the Golden Hills Elementary
School.
Local field
trips and walks are held monthly, usually on the Saturday
following the Tuesday meetings. Field trips to other California
birding hotspots are occasionally organized.
