Join The Birders Hub Gathering Place
A global connection membership for bird lovers and storytellers, exploring migration, meaning, and shared wonder.
Every Discovery Begins with Someone Paying Attention
This is the story that started The Birders Hub’s first flight.
In this short story from the mountains of southwest Colorado, two women — one observer and one explorer — uncover the hidden migration of the Black Swift.
Their quiet devotion and the bridge they built between canyons and rainforests reflect the rhythm we’re creating here inside The Birders Hub: noticing, connecting, and caring across our shared sky.
Belonging that Feels Real
Share stories, reflections, and friendships that grow across borders.
Meaning that Expands
See migration through new cultural, artistic, and personal lenses.
Inspiration that Lasts
Stay connected to the joy that first drew you to birds.
Birding connects you to the world—but sometimes you still feel alone in it.
Even with migration happening all around us, many bird lovers feel isolated.
It shouldn’t be this way — because birding is meant to bring us closer to the world and to one another.
Here are a few ways that disconnection shows up:
- You witness beauty every day but have no one to share it with.
- You watch birds connect the world, but wish you felt that global connection, too.
- You long for deeper conversation—beyond sightings, toward meaning and belonging.
- You wish for friendships that grow through story, wonder, and shared care for the world.
- You crave creativity and reflection—but life’s pace keeps pulling you away.
- You worry that the world’s noise is drowning out what truly matters.
- You wish for friendships that grow through story, wonder, and shared care for the world.

How Birding Became Belonging
When I first began noticing birds, I was curious — if I befriended them, could hearing their songs bring a little joy into my life?
Birds taught me that wonder can heal, attention is a form of prayer, and connection is something we can choose again and again.
That’s why I created The Birders Hub Gathering Place — not just to talk about birds, but to experience what they awaken in us.
It’s the only global birding community that blends reflection, story, art, and conversation to help people reconnect — with nature, with each other, and with themselves.
~ Founder, Kelly Miller
Still wondering if The Birders Hub is right for you?
Here are a few questions that often come up — answered in the same gentle rhythm the Birders Hub was built for.
What's included in my membership?
Your year includes both Fall and Spring Bird Migration Gatherings with full VIP access (a $200 value), plus live gatherings throughout the month, seasonal storytelling prompts, and a welcoming online space for reflection and connection. (If you can’t attend live, all sessions and celebrations are recorded and available for replay.)
What if I don't have much time?
That’s exactly who The Birders Hub was built for.
There’s no schedule to keep up with — just gentle invitations that meet you where you are.
A single reflection, photo, or prompt can bring the sense of connection you’ve been missing.
How will I know it's worth it?
The Hub isn’t another membership full of content — it’s a rhythm that nourishes you.
What you gain isn’t more to do, but a way to stay connected to beauty, curiosity, and community all year.
It’s an investment in belonging and perspective, not another to-do list.
I'm shy. Do I have to share?
No. Listening counts.
Many members begin quietly — reading reflections or watching replays until they feel ready to add their voice.
There’s no performance here, only presence.
I’m not very tech-savvy. Will this be difficult?
You’ll be guided gently.
The Calm Start Kit walks you through every step, and the space is simple and welcoming — no social-media noise, no overwhelm.
How is this different from other birding groups?
Most birding communities focus on identification and data.
The Birders Hub connects through story, art, and reflection — the human side of birding.
It’s where global migration meets personal meaning.
What if life changes — or I decide The Birders Hub isn’t for me?
The monthly membership is flexible, and the annual plan saves $200 for your Founders year.
Either way, you’re always free to find the rhythm that fits your season.
We also want your first experience inside The Birders Hub to feel right.
If, within 30 days of joining, you decide the Hub isn’t a fit, email us at kelly@followthebirds.com and we’ll issue a full refund — no questions asked.
That first month is your time to explore: watch a replay, join a gathering, or get a feel for the rhythm of our community.
We believe you’ll feel the difference right away — connection, ease, and inspiration that meet you where you are.
Because Wonder Grows When It’s Shared.
Birding will always have its quiet, solitary moments.
But what happens here is what follows after — when we bring those moments back to one another and let them grow into connection, story, and belonging around the world.
Every migration begins with one bird taking flight.
This is your moment to rise.
Join today for $750 or $75/month.

Follow the Birds is based in the southernmost part of the Rocky Mountains in Durango, Colorado, USA. My favorite migrating bird is the Black Swift, which travels from sheer cliffs in Colorado to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. What's yours? ~ Founder, Kelly Miller
