Spur-of-the-moment Field Trips!
The “Spur-of-the-moment” field trip to Lake Roberts had a successful day tallying 10 duck species, 3 grebe species and the faithful Bald eagle, with a total species count of 37. Spur-of-the-moment field trips are announced by email. Members can get on the list to learn where, when to meet, and destination. Let us know your email address to get on the notification list! swnmaudubon@gmail.com [ Photo: Meg Reuhmann ]
Email notices sent 3-7 days in advance - Audubon's monthly field trips sometimes miss good birding or butterfly possibilities because they must be planned far in advance. To take advantage of bird sightings or lovely weather, when birds or butterflies abound, we have Spur-of -the-moment Field Trips. The email indicates where + when to meet and the destination. So check your email regularly, especially during migration time and when the butterflies and wildflowers start to appear. Member? OK! Get on the List!
