We may have a few more to add to December such as birding trips to the Sweetwater property again and new birding trips to the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge! I will send out emails about those dates in the next few weeks!  Anyone interested in participating or to get more information can email khoward@audubon.org to sign up (especially for the Restoration workdays as we are limited by boats).

Please share this with your friends! These trips are great ways to learn more about birding or to see birds you might not normally see!

Thanks to all!
