The Carolina Bird Club, Inc., is a non-profit educational and scientific association open to anyone interested in the study and conservation of wildlife, particularly birds.

The Club meets each winter, spring, and fall at different locations in the Carolinas. Meeting sites are selected to give participants an opportunity to see many different kinds of birds.

Cover of The Chat Volume 40 Number 1 (Winter 1976) Cover: Chris Marsh drew the light-phase Pomarine Jaeger, a species that occurs mostly in winter off the Carolina coast. During spring migration, jaegers sometimes can be found amid the flocks of northbound pelagic birds that swing close inshore as they round Cape Point on the Outer Banks. The owl on page 21 was contributed by Chris and his fiancee, Barbara Pugh.
