Vermilion Flycatcher

Birds… they are colorful, come in all sizes, and have distict personalities. Seeing a bird flittering around in the trees will bring a smile to your face. Texas is a birder's paradise with over 660 resident, seasonal, and migrant species of birds found in our state. Texas Ornithological Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1953 with the sole purpose of promoting the enjoyment, understanding, and conservation of Texas’ bird population through birding events, education, and habitat restoration.

Whether you are new to birding or a seasoned veteran, TOS invites you to join us to develop your skills, learn more about these amazing creatures, and help protect them for future generations.
