The Mountwood Bird Club (MBC) was formed in 1978.  Most members are from the Parkersburg / Vienna / Marietta area. 
​The MBC schedules bird outings most Thursdays, and the occasional out-of-town trip or evening program. 
​MBC membership is open to all who enjoy birding. 
 
MBC members also help local schools and Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations with birding related activities. 
They support local government organizations like the Division of Natural Resources and Fish and Wildlife Services in their programs.
 
The MBC sponsors the annual Parkersburg Christmas Bird Count and the Spring Migration Count. 
     They maintain an avian checklist with the early/late dates for Wood County and report the quarterly sightings for the area.

2025 Mountwood Bird Club outings can be found below on the MBC Calendar of Events.
