WELCOME
We are so glad that you came to visit us. The Audubon Society name is one synonymous with birding, conservation, education, and appreciation of the natural world that surrounds us.
The Tyler Audubon Society is made up of a large number of enthusiastic, active, and involved individuals here in East Texas. Through a variety of fun activities, our members are devoted to the appreciation, safekeeping, and enjoyment of our birds and other wildlife and their habitat. Through participation in these activities, we create an awareness of the beauty of the natural world, the pleasure it can bring, as well as the challenges we all face to maintain that beauty.
We welcome all of you to come join us. Not only on the very worthwhile pursuits of spreading the word on the need for conservation and education but jump in and discover how much fun we have in these endeavors. There is such joy spending time near our lakes, streams, and local forests as we observe the incredible species of birds that we have right here in East Texas.
Come join us and you may see the incredible beauty of a Painted Bunting, the majesty of a Bald Eagle hunting for food, hear the joyous sounds of Carolina Wren ecstatically singing as he dances back & forth. You may see the stately hawks gliding above as their keen eyes search for their scurrying food. You will learn so much and will develop a new appreciation for this wonderful natural world around us all.
As an added bonus, you are bound to find new friends who share your love of birds and the outdoors.
Tyler Audubon Society Meetings
We have regular meetings on the second Tuesday of the month at:
St Francis Episcopal Church,
3232 Jan Avenue
Tyler TX
September through May. Usually, a speaker presents for the first hour. We break for a social and snacks and end with a business meeting. Member input is important to develop annual projects and field trip recommendations. Meeting start at 6:30 PM. Sometimes we meet at 5 PM for dinner at Little Italy prior to the meeting.
Come join us. Non-members and visitors are always welcome.
We also have regular outings and field trips--usually at least once a month. It is a blessing to be in an area that has such a tremendous variety of birds. Our trips allow us to enjoy seeing and learning more about the birds in our area as well as to socialize with our fellow birders. These trips are open to visitors and non-members.

Read MoreWho Was John James Audubon?
John James Audubon was born on April 26, 1785, in Les Cayes, Saint Domingue, Hispaniola (a former French colony; now Haiti). Audubon conducted his first scientific studies from his father's Pennsylvania estate.
After trying and failing in several different types of business ventures, he concentrated on drawing and studying birds, and began traveling around the country to pursue this work. He got his extraordinary four-volume Birds of America published in London in 1827 and followed it up with several related works.
He died in New York City in 1851.
