Mark your calendar for the upcoming Audubon TERN Group Survey at Galveston Island State Park, to be held on September 9th from 9:00 am – noon. This is part of our ongoing monitoring program at the park, conducted on the second Wednesday of each month.
We are always looking for new TERN participants so PLEASE pass the word along to others that might be interested. Group survey activities are a great way to get involved. New and experienced birders are always welcomed and no certifications or training are required to take part in these activities.
Our survey of GISP will include the three areas we have been monitoring for the past year: the beach, “VIP” freshwater ponds/coastal prairie and the birding tower. ALSO – we will check out the park’s NEW observation tower! Meet at the Beach-Side Park Headquarters at 9:00 am and we typically wrap up around noon.
New to a TERN survey? We suggest you come prepared with the following:
Water bottle (full)
Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
Long pants (for walking through tall
grass)
Close-toed shoes or hiking boots
Bug spray
Binoculars
Your favorite bird book or reference
material
We always have extra binoculars and bird guides, datasheets, as well as water and snacks for the group. Hopefully it will be a nice day but watch the weather and dress accordingly.
We ask that all participants sign up using our on-line registration system. It’s easy – just CLICK HERE and fill in the form. We use this info to email registered participants in case of bad weather or with other late-breaking announcements. You can also checkout the website (http://AudubonTERN.org) for the latest info.
