East Texas Birding Trips

Birding Trips Are Back with East Texas Birding!

Before my stint as the Tyler Audubon Society’s Director of Field Trips, I organized birding trips independently, sharing noticeshere and on the East Texas Birding Facebook page. Those were some fun and feather-filled days!

Fast forward to now: after dedicating time to other projects (and deciding to leave the group-organizing duties behind), I’m thrilled to announce the return of East Texas Birding Trips!

Here’s what you need to know:

• Where to find updates: I’ll post all trip announcements here on the website and on the East Texas Birding Facebook page. Join us at East Texas Birding Facebook Group.
• Who’s invited? EVERYONE. Seriously, if you like birds, we like you. And if you’re new to birding, we’ve got you covered. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable, included, and—bonus!—you’ll leave a little smarter about our feathered friends.
• Cost? Free. As in zero dollars. Nada. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe some snacks to share.
• Signup for the East Texas Birding Trip Email List! Use the form at the very bottom of this page.

Likely Destinations This Year:

Here’s a sneak peek at where we might venture:

• Mineola Nature Reserve (a gem!)
• Old Sabine Bottoms WMA
• Richland Creek WMA
• Lake Tawakoni State Park
• High Island (a Spring migration hotspot)
• Sabine Woods (a sometimes even better Spring migration hotspot)
• Anahuac NWR
• Hagerman NWR
• …and wherever the birds decide to sing the loudest!

Why Join?

These trips are more than just birdwatching; they’re about building connections, learning together, and having a downright good time in the great outdoors. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or you’ve just bought your first pair of binoculars, we’ll make sure you feel right at home.

So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar, grab your gear, and join us for a birding adventure that’s as fun as it is educational. Let’s make some memories (and maybe spot a few rare species while we’re at it)!

See you in the field!
