Spring Migration Field Trip for Members

We are preparing once again for our annual Spring Migration Field trip for senior members to Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and High Island during the height of spring migration! It is a great time to look for many species of warblers, vireos, buntings, orioles and other migrants.

We are lucky to have the Harris Co., Precinct 3, free bus for seniors this year for the trip!

Age requirement: Seniors only, any person 50 or over

Membership required: This trip is offered to NDC Members only. If you are not already a member, you can join by clicking here. You may renew your membership, should you need to, by logging in to your profile.  Call 713.667.6550 for assistance.

Advance registration required – an online form will be available soon.  If you have any problems, call 713.667.6550.

Cost: $7/person for Audubon Sanctuary Day Pass OR free with Audubon Sanctuaries Season Pass ($25). You must pay this fee or bring your Season’s Pass with you the day of the trip. Donations for coffee, drinks, snacks and the Nature Discovery Center are also appreciated.

Meeting / Parking Place: The bus will depart at 7:30 am from Evergreen Pool parking lot, on Evergreen Street at Newcastle in Bellaire, across from Russ Pitman Park and return by 7:30 pm.

Our thanks to Steve Radack and Harris County, Precinct 3, for providing this bus service for seniors.

Although there is no bathroom in the county bus, we will make bathroom stops along the way. The bus makes a great observation platform while birding Shoveler Pond and the roadside canals of Anahuac NWR.

The Nature Discovery Center will provide water and soft drinks. Bring your own coffee, snacks, lunch, insect repellent, binoculars and field guides. (If you need to borrow a pair of binoculars please let us know when you register.) Rain will bring down more birds for us to look at, so this trip will go regardless of the weather.Dress and be prepared accordingly.
