FIELD TRIPS
Fort Worth Audubon Society Field Trips are open to all, members and nonmembers, beginners to world-class birders. We especially want to encourage and welcome first time birders to come on our local trips in the Fort Worth area.

Hi All !
Things are looking good for the weekend trip to nw Tarrant county. Plenty of regular winter birds are in at feeders in south Arlington, so the park should be full too ! Saturday will be a walking tour and you can choose your distance up to about five miles total. Short out-&-back looks along the trails will keep your day flat... the farther down the trails you explore the more you'll go up & down some hills.
A full range of our winter regular birds should be expected in this excellent remnant of undisturbed natural north Texas habitat. Driving from loop 820 at north main st( bus 287), go north on N Main for approx 7.5 miles to Peden Rd, then left (west) 3.5 mi to the end at Fm 1220. The park is directly across the intersection with the entrance just off to the right. Meet at 07:00 am , ready to look listen & see asap thereafter. E-mail me at bronzebird11@aol.com this week for any more details.

There is one space that has become available on this trip. Expecting it to be about $800 including flight. Because of the B&B reservations already made, the space must be filled by a MALE only. Everyone has their own beds every night, it's just the accommodations at one location are for 3 people and the others are male.
There's more than one night of owling and we're using a local guide to drive into California Gulch for Five-striped sparrow and Buff-collared nightjar. The days will be fast and furious with little chance to have a sit down meal. Most days we will be eating from the road.
We're staying at Cave Creek Ranch, San Pedro River Inn and Santa Rita Lodge, all famous for their birding hospitality. Well over 100 species expected. Deposit of $67.87 due by 11/15/09 (San Pedro Inn). Second deposit due February 1st for $167 (guides & transportation) . Traveling in 2 vans from Tuscon so this is a non-smokers only trip. 2 days in Madera... [Read More]
