DUBUQUE AUDUBON

Welcome!

Anyone interested in birdwatching, nature, or the quality of the environment is welcome to become a member of the Dubuque Audubon Society.

Our tri-state region is a great place for birds, and one of the great things about birds is that you can enjoy them at all levels of involvement. You may be surprised how many different species we have in the area at different times of year and how quickly you can begin to identify many of them once you start looking. (Binoculars help!) Any time of year is a great time to be a birder, and we hope you’ll join us!

Our Mission

The mission of the Dubuque Audubon Society is to provide educational opportunities to the people of the tri-state area and to preserve the natural habitat of birds and other wildlife.

A pair of Sandhill Cranes put on a show on 8/25/24 in Dubuque IA (Deere Dike Park – Riverside Road). Unfortunately, a passing train prevented any bird sounds from getting through, so the original sound has been removed.

Calendar of Events

We hold monthly meetings from September through May, with programs on a variety of topics related to nature and the environment.

We also hold an annual Christmas bird count, an annual Duck Waddle trip to Green Island, and an annual spring species count, and we offer additional field trips throughout the year.

You can tailor your birding to your interest and activity level, and all levels of experience are welcome.

We have started listing events from outside groups, so check for those as well!
