Tyler Audubon Society is devoted to the enjoyment and safekeeping of the natural world. Through the participation in birding, education and conservation ventures, we encourage East Texans to join us in our mission.

The primary objective of the Tyler Audubon Society is to create an awareness of the natural world's beauty and problems by promoting an appreciation of birds, other wildlife and habitat,  to promote an awareness of the environmental problems of the past, present and future, and to find solutions for these problems.

September 6, Richland Creek WMA. We should see Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks and other large wading birds, shorebirds if mud flats are present, and early arriving waterfowl. This is a good time for migrant and summering flycatchers and I have seen up to nine different species in a day.

Please join us as we seek the birds of East Texas.  Learn how to spot and identify some of the 250 species of birds that occur regularly in Smith County.  Enjoy the migration of birds through our area.  All you need to bring is a pair of binoculars, water, and a snack.  If you have a bird field guide, you should bring that too (and it never hurts to have a pair of rubber boots in the trunk).  Tyler Audubon includes birders at all levels of experience, and beginners and nonmembers are welcome.  Questions?  Contact Peter Barnes Peter.Barnes (at) uthct.edu or Cheryle Beck beck (at) tyler.net

We hope to see you out there!

In case of unfavorable birding conditions we may cancel a trip.  I will email everyone on the email list by 6:00AM and try to call those who do not have email for whom I have a phone number , or you may call me at 6:00 AM.

If you would like to be put on a phone/e-mail list for notification about changes, or possible additional trips to find unusual birds contact:
Cheryle Beck at 903-586-7769 or tyleraudubon@yahoo.com
