FIELD TRIPS
Fort Worth Audubon Society Field Trips are open to all, members and nonmembers, beginners to world-class birders. We especially want to encourage and welcome first time birders to come on our local trips in the Fort Worth area. These trips are an excellent way to get started learning the birds and the best locations and seasons to find them. There are always people on these trips who are willing and able to answer any question about birds.

Saturday March 13 Linkcrest Natural Area |
|
Mar 05, 2010 - 11:23 PM - by Mary Lee
|
Hi Everyone -
Please join Ed Lane for a field trip to the Linkcrest Natural area (formerly Linkcrest Landfill).
Where: Linkcrest Natural Area far west Fort Worth
When: Saturday, March 13. Meet at 7:30 AM.
Leader: Ed Lane
Discription: This will be a 1/2 day field trip since the gates close at noon. Driving around the lake would require a 4 wheel drive vehicle so we won't attempt that. Walking around the lake would be about a 2 mile hike. It is fairly level terrain so it is easy walking. If someone doesn't want to make the walk there is still a lot to see. Phil Craighead and Ed Lane saw 52 species there on Wednesday. It is possible to see wintering water fowl and sparrows and perhaps some early spring migrants.
Directions: We will meet at the Majestic liquor store parking lot on the SW corner of Linkcrest and I-20 at 7:30 AM. To get there from Fort... [Read More]

Our field trip to the Panhandle for Lesser Prairie Chickens, scheduled for April 9 - 11, has been cancelled.
An alternative trip is being planned to attend the Texas Ornithological Society (TOS) Spring meeting in Rockport, April 15 - 18. If you're interested in attending with FWAS I will help to arrange lodging and carpooling. Please let me know if you'd like to join us.
Spring migration in Rockport will certainly be amazing!
