Most birders are very familiar with spring migration when colorful warblers, tanagers, orioles and other species hit the Texas coast on their way north to their breeding territories. It is wonderful to experience, but there are other amazing migrations that you may not be as familiar with, migrations that tend to be really spectacular in the late summer and fall.

This presentation will introduce you to the southbound migrations of Purple Martins, Chimney Swifts, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and hawks. The migrations of these species are as spectacular as spring migration, just in different ways. Join us for this presentation so that you’ll be prepared to experience them for yourself!

Shelia Hargis has been birding for nearly 25 years and is totally obsessed with birds! She spends most of her free time birding or thinking about birds. Shelia gives presentations on a variety of bird topics, surveys birds for the City of Austin and the North American Breeding Bird Survey as well as private landowners, and regularly leads birding field trips. She is Past President of Travis Audubon, Texas Ornithological Society, and Friends of Balcones.

What a  great way to spend a hot Texas July afternoon when it’s just too hot to be out hiking and birding!  Grab your cold beverage, get the ceiling fan going, put on your headset and join us in uncovering the mysteries of migration.
