The September bird survey at Blair Woods will take place on Monday, September 22nd  from 8:30 am - 10:30 am. 

This survey is Christmas Bird Count-style, meaning that you'll identify the birds that you see and/or hear, as well as the number of individuals per species. Note: this opportunity is best for intermediate to advanced birders who are confident in their ID abilities.

Travis Audubon relies on several vital committees to carry out our important work, with a focus on youth programs, advocacy, education, field trips, and specific projects like the Purple Martin and Chimney Swift initiatives. Volunteers are key to these efforts, attending committee meetings every other month, and have the option to take on more time-intensive tasks, allowing them to make an even greater impact on our mission.

Lead a walk for families with young birders ages 8 and up.

The trip leader can pick the location and date of their choice, as long as the location is within or near Austin city limits and the date falls on a weekend. Typically the field trips start at 8 and run until about 9:30 AM but we can be flexible about time. We limit the number of signups to 20 people (total for adults and kids) but expect approx. 40% no-show rate (so closer to 12 will show up).

I will be the main point of contact; the walk will start at 9:00 AM before our main program starts at 10 AM. The walk will be about 1 hour long.

Our tables will be held in the oak grove from 10-2 PM with hands on activities, a monarch butterfly tag and release ceremony and a tree ID walk. 

You can enter through the main entrance located on 2220 Barton Springs Rd. Austin, TX 78746. Let the gate attendant know you are a volunteer leading the bird walk and they will waive you through. Since we anticipate many visitors, we ask that you please park in the volunteer parking lot, I have attached a map of where to park. We will meet in front of the flagpole by the main building.

Our goal for this program is to ID birds in the garden, emphasize their role in the ecosystem and how birds can also be pollinators. 

I can be reached directly at 512-717-9564 the day of the event if you have any questions. 

I will join the walk to answer any plant or garden questions.

We do not have binoculars, but if you have extras for folks who don’t bring any, that would be very helpful. We will make sure to encourage visitors to bring their own if possible.

This walk will be free, open to the public so we will have a RSVP but there may be some who join last minute without RSVP. We will gladly provide the contact information for those who RSVP. 

We are very excited to have Travis Audubon join us for Roots & Wings October 25th.
