Leaders Choice Trip

We’re leaving this trip intentionally vague so we can be flexible. Your leaders will be monitoring the birds seen throughout the festival and will use that information to determine the location for this trip. We may decide to try to re-find rarities or we may decide to go birding in one of our favorite Refuge tracts. Wherever we end up, you can expect to see some great Hill Country birds and have a great time. If you’re the type person who likes surprises or likes to go with the flow, this is the tour for you!

TRAVIS AUDUBON SOCIETY(TAS)
Travis Audubon was founded in 1952 by visionary central Texans who recognized the vital connection between conserving wildlife habitat and the ecological balance necessary for healthy, sustainable and habitable human communities.

SHELIA HARGIS

Shelia has been birding for 16 years and thinks that birds are the coolest! She spends most of her free time birding or thinking about birds and her passion and enthusiasm for birds and birding is infectious. Shelia has given presentations and classes on numerous bird topics, regularly leads birding field trips, is on the Travis Audubon Habitat Conservation Committee, and teaches the Travis Audubon Introduction to Birds & Birding class. Her goal for the class is to get every participant hooked on birds.

ED FAIR

Ed has been actively and obsessively birding since 2001. He regularly leads field trips for Travis Audubon Society primarily at Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park and Westcave Preserve. He conducts numerous USGS Breeding Bird Surveys throughout Texas and participates in a number of Christmas Bird Counts. He has also participated in Golden-cheeked Warbler surveys for Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. He is founder of the Commons Ford Prairie Restoration Organization (commonsfordpro.blogspot.com) which has been actively involved in efforts to improve bird habitat at Commons Ford Ranch Metro Park through the implementation of a native prairie restoration project. When Ed is not birding or irritating his grandchildren, he is practicing music law or teaching music business courses at the University of Texas.
