Come prowl for owls at the beautiful Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary in West Houston! Meet Houston Audubon’s live, rehabilitated ambassador owls after a fascinating program at the log cabin. Afterward, join Houston Audubon on the wooded trails in search of wild owls. It’s a hoot!

Tickets are $10/adult and $6/child (ages 3 – 17). Space is limited; register early!

What to Bring: Dress for walking in the woods – including insect repellent. Flashlight optional.

Parking: Please park in the Memorial Methodist west parking lot (12955 Memorial Drive) or the Sanctuary’s small lot at 440 Wilchester. Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.

Weather Plan: We may reschedule in case of inclement weather. If this is the case, we will call you the afternoon of the owl prowl to notify you.

For questions, please contact Mary Anne Weber at maweber@houstonaudubon.org.

Meet count leader Jason Bonilla in the parking lot of Woodland Park. Please note that the park does not have a maintained trail system. As such, there is a lot of poison ivy that is somewhat unavoidable when walking the park and looking for birds. Additionally, there are terrain changes and unstable areas. Participants should wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. They usually meet on the fourth Saturday of the month.

Senior adults are invited to a variety of natural history programs, leisurely walks and fun nature activities every 1st Friday of the month. Meet at the nature center.

Get excited for Birdathon 2020! Join Houston Audubon at the Kick-off Workshop to learn all about Birdathon and birding at their wonderful log cabin at Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary. Meet other birders and nature enthusiasts, and maybe even sign up for a team! This workshop is free and open to the public.

WHAT IS BIRDATHON?

Birdathon is the birder’s equivalent to a walkathon, but better (because you get to look at birds all day). Teams of 2 or more (typically 4-5) compete to count as many bird species as possible in a consecutive 24-hour period. Birdathon is primarily a fundraiser, so teams also compete to raise the most money for the best cause: bird conservation. The birding and fundraising period is followed by a fun awards celebration with prizes for the most birds identified, most funds raised, best story, best team name and more! Birdathon is a great way to enjoy spring migration and support Houston Audubon at the same time.

Whether you can identify 2 species or 2,000, birders of all experience levels are welcome to participate in Birdathon! Please contact us if you’d like to be placed on a team.
