Pledged amounts go toward the TOS Sanctuary Fund

On May 5, 2012, Steve Gross and Bron Rorex, TOS Board members, will accompany a team of elementary school-aged birders on a mini-Big Day. We are asking for pledges for each bird seen by the team. Proceeds will go to the TOS Sanctuary Fund.

In recent years, hurricane damage and drought at TOS sanctuaries have demanded allocation out of the Sanctuary Fund. In order to maintain safe public access to our properties, and in order to purchase additional bird habitat when such occasions arise, we are asking for special donations to this Fund.

TOS is fortunate to have the Audubon Outdoor Club of Corpus Christi hosting our spring meeting. They are going all out with committees set up to secure great items for a silent auction (so bring your money), table decorations, registration, and of course field trips with knowledgeable leaders. Field trips will be going to all parts of the Coastal Bend, one of the birdiest parts of Texas and the entire US. Five of the areas are not usually open to the public. Neotropic migrants will be at their peak!!! The field trips will visit ten counties that include birding on the bay, beach, wetlands, rivers, lakes, riparian areas, desert scrub, and migrant traps.

The Texas Ornithological Society (TOS) was founded in 1953 as a nonprofit organization. The purpose of the Society is to promote the discovery and dissemination of knowledge of birds; to encourage specifically the observation, study and conservation of birds in Texas; to encourage the formation of local birding clubs; and to stimulate cooperation among professional ornithologists.
