SUMMARY:Outing to Mitchell Lake for Inland Shorebirds Webinar Follow-up
DESCRIPTION:BAS Vice President Patsy Inglet will lead this webinar to help you learn about 14 species of shorebirds that can be found in Central Texas. Why focus on shorebirds so far from the coastal shore? Because not every bird found at the shore is a shorebird\, and not every shorebird is found at the coastal shore. Many shorebirds migrate right through the middle of North America in the Central Flyway and stop over on the shores of rivers\, lakes\, ponds\, and other wetlands as they make their way on their migration; some stay to breed. \nAfter this webinar and the field trip to the wetlands at Mitchell Lake Audubon Center on Saturday\, September 10 from 8 to 10 AM\, you will be better able to identify Central Texas shorebirds and appreciate the marathon journeys these birds make every year. \nRegister and pay ($5) for the Wednesday\, September 7th Webinar HERE\nYou will receive a link to join the webinar after you’ve registered. \nSign up for the Saturday\, September 10th outing to Mitchell Lake HERE\nThe outing will take place from 8:00 to 10:00 AM. A $5 entry fee will be charged for those who are not members of Mitchell Lake Audubon Center. You must attend the online webinar to attend the outing at Mitchell Lake\, which is limited to 20 people.
