TOS Weekenders are Back
TOS is delighted to announce the return of our Weekender programs, beginning with two super excursions in the fall of 2023.
Weekenders are designed as fundraisers for TOS, and as opportunities for participants to learn about a specific area or about a certain family of birds, such as shorebirds or raptors, paired with field trips to put that knowledge to work. Participants gather on Friday for a presentation, go on a field trip on Saturday with a wrap-up field trip on Sunday ending around noon. The fee for the event is $100 per person.
Our 2023 Weekenders included a visit to the Upper Texas Coast, guided by TOS member Janey Woodley, and a November Whooping Crane Weekender in Rockport led by TOS Recording Secretary Susan Foster.
Registration will be open two months before each trip, and should there be more registrants than the maximum number allowed, attendees will be selected by a random drawing. Two people may register to attend together.
If you have an idea or request for a Weekender in 2024, or if you want to volunteer to lead a three-day excursion yourself, please let us know at info@texasbirds.org.
